Kent State Field House was opened in 1990, is a $6.5 million state-of-the-art facility.

In May of 2014, Kent State University coaches and athletes joined various administrators and donors for a groundbreaking ceremony, celebrating the construction of a $4.5 million dollar addition to the current Field House.

The new building, which was added to the south side of the Field House, now provides locker rooms for field hockey, softball, women's soccer and men's and women's track & field athletes. The building also include coaches locker rooms, athletic training facilities and a new entryway into the Field House.

Currently, located inside the building is a six-lane 292-meter Mondotrack FTX surface track with eight lane straightaway, dual long jump pits, which includes a new elevated long-jump and triple jump runway and landing pit, dual high jump pits, dual pole vault pits, throwing areas including a new Thunder dome throwing cage. The infield of the track features a full-size artificial turf field.

Other features of the Field House include observation towers for filming and houses a 5,000 square foot weight-training complex used by Kent State student-athletes. Among the weight room features are 66 Eagle Cybex machines.

Due to its versatility, the Field House serves as a practice facility for Kent State field hockey, football, and soccer teams when inclement weather arises. A series of nets can be dropped from the ceiling to divide the field into separate practice areas for multiple users.
