Considered an Art Deco building, it possesses several terra cotta panels spread about on the exterior, all depicting athletes, athletic scenes or athletic equipment. At the front is a sculpture of a discus thrower, a replica of Discobolus, a Greek sculpture that was completed by Myron towards the end of the Severe period, circa 460-450 BC.
In the far southeast corner of the campus, the Men's Gymnasium, now known as the Schreiber Gymnasium, is in the third tier of buildings away from The Oval. The building now also houses the ROTC.
