The first gymnasium at Kalamazoo College was built in 1911. It was re-modeled in 1930 and re-named the Tredway Gymnasium in honor of Arthur Clifford Tredway who had left $50,000 to the college upon his death for the remodeling project. A.C. Tredway, born on August 26, 1872 in Detroit, was a member of the college's Class of 1898. The 1930 remodeling was undertaken by architect Aymar Embury II. As a result, the seating capacity increased to 1,000, a basketball court with a 50 x 90 ft playing floor was added, and the showers, lockers, and dressing rooms were improved. In 1960 the gymnasium was renovated and a tennis house was added on to the building. Tredway Gymnasium was demolished in April of 1980 and re-placed by the Anderson Athletic Center.
