Morrison Athletic Center (MAC):

Morrison Athletic Center Since 2000, the Morrison Athletic Center (MAC) has provided ample space for any fitness or athletic activity. Located in the southwest corner of campus, adjacent to the Charles River, the MAC provides convenient access to most fields for the players, staff and spectators. |

The 1949 Lobby Just inside the main entrance of the MAC, the 1949 Lobby provides a spot for teams and spectators to relax between practices or games. Decorated with trophy displays, newspaper clippings, and two plasma TVs, this central hub radiates to the fitness, training room, athletic store, locker rooms, and various playing surfaces. |

Rappaport Gymnasium The Rappaport Gymnasium, located on the second floor of the MAC, houses a suspended jogging track and two full-size basketball courts with a curtain divider. For games, bleachers pull out to highlight the Clifford Basketball Court or spectators may view from the surrounding jogging track. In the fall and spring, these courts are used for general recreation, wellness activities, and indoor training.

Richardson Gymnasium Before Rappaport Gym, this gym served as the primary basketball and workout facility. Maintained through construction and renovations, Richardson serves as a regulation basketball court most often used by sub-varsity levels. Through the Fall and Spring, this gym is used for fitness and wellness activities and houses an indoor batting cage for batting and pitching practice. |

Squash Courts Six international-sized squash courts in the climate-controlled northern extension of the MAC provide a wonderful space for squash training and competing. For the best viewing experience, there is a viewing platform above the courts and one court allows viewing from two sides at floor level. |

Wilbur Storer Wrestling Room The Wilbur Storer Wrestling Room is named after Nobles’ celebrated, first wrestling coach. The 2100 square foot space can be expanded by removing partitions which separate the adjoining room; this provides ample viewing area for spectators during dual and tri-meets. |

Athletic Fields:

Nobles athletes are very fortunate to have access to the 10+ college-level fields available to them. Nobles has four full-sized soccer fields (Greene, Almy, Wayne, Bridge II), two full-sized field hockey fields (Mason, Keller), a football game field (Burr), and a football practice field (Mcleod). In the spring, six of the fields (Greene, Almy, Wayne, Bridge II, Mason, Keller) double as top-notch lacrosse fields. Baseball and softball teams enjoy the two newly renovated fields (Class of '79, Johnson). In addition to these facilites, each sport has a JV/MS field for use. Nobles proudly maintains all of its outdoor fields using only organic material.
