Amherst College to Add Natatorium and Squash Courts
Amherst College’s physical education department will gain a $30,000 gift for a new natatorium 75 by 22 feet, four squash courts, and a heating plant to serve Pratt Gymnasium and the new building. Harold I Pratt funded the natatorium and heating plant, with another donor funding the courts. The project addresses swimming facility gaps as freshmen swim ability lags, with plans to require all students to learn to swim before graduation.
