Harmon Gym Poster
The arena was originally opened 93 years ago in 1933 as the Gymnasium for Men. It was renamed Harmon Gym in 1959, after Oakland financier A.K.P. Harmon, who donated the funds to build Cal’s first indoor athletic facility in 1879.
In 1931, construction was started on its replacement, the current Haas Pavilion, which would eventually share the same name as its predecessor from 1959 to 1999. The building was torn down not long after the completion of the new Men’s Gymnasium, and in 1950 Dwinelle Hall was built on the site.
