Lavino Field House


Constructed 1951

The Edward J. Lavino Field House is one of the finest athletic buildings in any independent school in the country. Opened in the Fall of 1951, the structure has been the site of many County, State and Eastern Tournaments, as well as providing an excellent facility for our student-athletes.
