Seiberling Health and Physical Education Center

Seiberling Health and Physical Education Center was completed in 1952 after delays during World Wars I and II and the Great Depression. The building bears the name of Frank Seiberling, an 1879 alumnus who became president of Goodyear Rubber Co. and founder of the Seiberling Rubber Co. Mr. Seiberling made the first pledge for the physical education plant in 1917. Other funds were contributed later by alumni, churches, local citizens and friends. After a fire destroyed some athletic facilities in 1985, a major addition to Seiberling was completed to add offices, locker rooms, a weight room and a sports medicine facility.
