Connected to Alumni Gym, the Bast Center contains an auxiliary basketball court, additional locker rooms, an indoor pool and an aerobics room. The Office of Student Affairs is located in a refurbished wing of Alumni Gym. 

The Alumni Gym was the home to the Maroons men's basketball team for 55-straight seasons from 1911-66.  After a 10-year stay at the Salem Civic Center, the Maroons came back to Alumni Gym from 1977-82.  This facility was also the home to the women's basketball and volleyball teams until the Bast Center was built in 1982.

Today, Alumni Gym is used primarily as a practice facility for the men’s and women’s basketball teams, and also sees frequent use from Roanoke College’s intramural club teams as well. It also serves as an area for receptions and socials that the college may host. Lastly, alumni gym is used for performing arts events such as lip syncs sponsored by Greek life, or as a stage for our choir, band and acapella groups.
