The Gardner-Hawks Center and Borup Coliseum is the home of the Dana College Physical Education and Athletic Departments. The center includes a competition gymnasium with three courts and a one-tenth mile walking track, a practice gym, a six-lane, twenty-five yard swimming pool and indoor batting cage. The facility also contains a newly-created free weight room/fitness room with a variety of aerobic equipment and a Universal weight machine. A wrestling room, classrooms and staff offices are also part of the building. The indoor facility is supported by an adjoining football stadium, track and soccer fields. The tennis courts, baseball and softball fields are within short walking distance of the coliseum.

Major renovations were recently completed to Borup Coliseum. The new Gardner-Hawks Center was completed in the fall of 2003.
