| Weiser Gymnasium |
Weiser Gymnasium, Hutchens HPER (Health, Physical Education & Recreation), and Barber Fitness Center together form
the focal point of Drury's athletics and fitness programs.
The imposing, arched roof of Weiser was a World War II hangar before beginning its new life as part of the scenic Drury
campus in 1948.
The Weiser Gym can comfortably accommodate 2,200 people in a combination of seats and bleachers and its red, gray
and black scheme echoes the official Drury colors. The glossy parque playing surface is home to the Panthers and Lady
Panthers basketball teams, both of which enjoy continued success at NCAA tournaments.

| Drury Diversity Center at Historic Washington Avenue Baptist Church |
Located within the borders of Drury's campus, Springfield's oldest African-American church building has taken on a new
function. Relocated and renovated in 2001, the church is now home to Drury's Diversity Center.
The church was painstakingly taken down brick by brick and rebuilt across the street to make room for the new Trustee
Science Center. Drury University uses the church as a place to acknowledge the multi-cultural heritage of Springfield. The
Diversity Center has become an educational facility to build intercultural understanding and harmony.
