Phase 3 of the Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex is a field house that provides a competition-quality, eight-lane 200-meter indoor track, competition tennis courts, practice space for outdoor sports during inclement weather and a venue for other large campus and community events. The field house was completed in fall 2014.

The multipurpose field house provides a practice and competition venue for the tennis and track and field programs, while offering indoor practice space for outdoor sports over the winter and during inclement weather. It serves as a hub for the entire campus. State of the art fitness and weight training facilities, as well as the track and tennis courts are open to all faculty, staff and students. The facility also provides expanded opportunities for the university's highly popular intramurals program.

From an academic perspective, the facility allows for the expansion of activity courses offered through the Department of Physical and Health Education and the Department of Leisure Studies.

The facility also serves as a spacious venue for guest speakers, concerts, dinners and potentially the university commencement ceremonies. These non-athletics uses also present new opportunities to bring in groups and events from the surrounding communities of northern Allegany County and Western New York.
