Introducing: The Maguire Athletic Center
By: Emmalee Eckstein
In order for student-athletes to compete at the highest levels, they need to be supported by state-of-the-art facilities to enhance their training, performance and overall well-being.
Enter: The Maguire Athletic Center.
The Maguire Athletic Center is an ultramodern training facility for Saint Joseph's University's student-athletes that finalized its first phases of construction in December 2024. This included the completion of its men's and women's basketball training facility, an expansive indoor turf field, a track and field training mezzanine, and land training room for the rowing teams.
The facility immediately opened for use and a handful of St. Joe's varsity teams — men's and women's soccer, lacrosse and cross country/track and field — moved right into their new respective locker rooms.
This renovation was made possible by James J. Maguire, BS '58, his late wife, Frances, H '14, and The Maguire Foundation. The ribbon cutting to officially open the complex was held on May 1, 2025.
