Brown University’s ample athletic facilities add to its reputation as one of the finest universities in the country. Their newest additions, the Nelson Fitness Center and the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center opened in the spring of 2012 and features a three-level fitness center and a 56-meter pool, which will be available for swimming meets and water polo events. With a broad range of athletic facilities, from a boathouse along the Seekonk River to a 20,000-seat outdoor stadium, Brown offers plenty of sporting options.
