Lynchburg Wrestling Camps

Turner Gymnasium

Built in 1969 and named in honor of John M. Turner, Class of 1929 and professor of English from 1933 to 1972, then Dean of the College from 1952 to 1972. The John M. Turner Health and Physical Education Center was renovated and expanded in 2000. New bleachers with seat backs were installed in August 2021. The building houses Lynchburg's Wayne Proffitt Court -- the home of Lynchburg's basketball and volleyball teams -- as well as a fitness center, dance and multi-purpose studio, health and human performance laboratory, athletic training facilities, classrooms, and offices for faculty and coaches.
