Overview

The Karl H. Weaner Community Center is home to the Yellow Jackets' men’s and women’s basketball programs, as well as the volleyball and wrestling teams. The newly redesigned arena features a new floor and seating, as well as a full working press box with internet connection and webcasting capabilities.

In the summer of 2018, the facility received a major overhaul with the expansion of both varsity locker rooms as well as the bathroom facilities totaling nearly 7,600 square feet. The renovations included the addition of a new display area, team meeting rooms, lounge, and enhanced security throughout the Weaner Center.

The gymnasium floor was resurfaced and dedicated to longtime men's basketball head coach Marv Hohenberger in 2023. Coach Hohenberger led the Yellow Jackets to 581 wins over 32 seasons as head basketball coach from 1965-97 including 13 conference titles, 28 winning seasons and four NAIA National Tournament berths.
