It was built on top of the plot of land used to grow potatoes on the old campus farm. In 1983, a swimming pool, rowing tanks, training rooms and locker rooms were added. In 1998, a two-story fitness and wellness center was incorporated into the Hart Center design, funded by Park B. Smith and his wife, Carol.
