The Paul Bailey Pizzitola Memorial Sports Center, often referred to as "the Pitz" by students,[1] is a 2,800-seat multi-purpose athletic center in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, which was built in 1989. It is home to the Brown University Bears men's and women's basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling and squash teams.[2] It was built adjacent to Meehan Auditorium on Lloyd Avenue[3] as a replacement for Marvel Gymnasium, which was located next to Brown Stadium on Elmgrove Ave.[4] The building was named for Paul Bailey Pizzitola (class of 1881), whose father contributed $2 million to its construction. The lobby of the building is named for the Brown attendee (1887–89) and American football legend John Heisman (class of 1891).[2]
