The Special Events Center (SEC) includes the gymnasium, the department of athletics, and classrooms. Its name is meant to indicate the wide variety of events conducted there, including athletics, concerts, ceremonies and auctions.
The Fitness Center was added to the north end of the SEC in 2013. The 3,200-square-foot space includes cardio equipment, elliptical machines and cycles as well as strength and exercise equipment. Amenities include music and TV entertainment.
The university athletic complex is named for the family of Marvin and Nadene Steinert. Marvin Steinert was a trustee of the university from 1971 until 1981. In 1977 the Steinerts and their sons, Max, Randy, and Gary--all three of whom are alumni of Fresno Pacific University--donated money to purchase the land on which the complex is now located.
It includes the Ramirez Soccer Field (named for Soccer Coach Jaime Ramirez), the Harold and Betty Haak Tennis Complex (named for former FPU President Harold Haak and his wife Betty), a track, and a baseball stadium.
