New England College

Bridges Gymnasium is home to the Pilgrim men’s and women’s basketball teams, men's and women's wrestling teams, as well as the women's volleyball team.

In 2025, construction began on a new athletic center add-on to the front of Bridges Gym. The project also included a remodel of the bottom floor of Bridges with an expanded and reimagined Strength Lab; a fitness center open to the entire NEC community; and top-tier facilities such as locker rooms, strength training areas, and sports medicine rooms.

In December of 2017, a series of improvements culminated in the replacement of the original wooden bleachers with red, state-of-the-art bleachers. The project was the last in a series of improvements to the gym that included branded wall padding for the baselines, new championship banners that hang from the walls, and a scorers' table complete with video boards. 

A state-of-the-art Robbins gym floor was installed in 2009.  The MVP (Maximum Vibration Protection) system controls vibration, provides extreme uniformity and delivers superior gameplay response.  The court was refinished in the summer of 2016 and new custom padding was installed.

Bridge’s Gymnasium is available to the public through facilities rentals.  To reserve an NEC facility, please email Holly Senay at hsenay@nec.edu.
