Doyle Hall
Completed in 2010, Doyle Hall has significantly enhanced the experience for students, athletic staff, and spectators at Norwich University. Spanning 21,000 square feet, this facility serves as a pivotal connection between Kreitzberg Arena and Andrews Hall, which are amongst the most frequented athletic facilities on campus.
Designed with the aim to support the university’s athletic programs, Doyle Hall houses comprehensive amenities for athletes and coaching staff. These include spacious athletic department offices to facilitate administrative tasks, well-equipped locker rooms providing a secure and comfortable space for athletes, and several meeting rooms designed to host strategy sessions and team meetings.
One of the standout features of Doyle Hall is its “Grand” entrance. This area is not just a passage but a celebration of Norwich University’s rich athletic heritage. It showcases a striking lobby adorned with trophies and historical items from Norwich’s athletic history, creating an inspiring atmosphere for visitors and sports enthusiasts. Moreover, the facility is home to various state-of-the-art touchscreens, including an interactive display that brings the Norwich University Digital Athletic Hall of Fame to life for visitors, providing them with a deep dive into the university’s sports legacy.
Recognizing the need to cater to spectators and visitors, Doyle Hall offers a food concession stand that serves a range of snacks and refreshments, enhancing the overall event experience. Additionally, there are ample restroom facilities to accommodate large crowds during events, and a ticket booth for convenient access to athletic contests.
In the construction of Doyle Hall, special attention was given to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact. Many of the building materials used in its construction were sourced locally, underscoring Norwich University’s commitment to environmental stewardship and support for the local economy. This attention to sustainability not only highlights the institution’s dedication to eco-friendly practices but also sets a benchmark for future projects.
