Since 1974, Memorial Gym has been home to UTEP Women's Volleyball. It hosted the first and second rounds of the 2011 Conference USA Women's basketball tournament.
Memorial Gym contains two classrooms, a kickboxing, judo, and karate dojo (mat room), an Auxiliary Gym (the size of two full volleyball courts) and the main gym floor that is the size of four volleyball courts. In addition, Memorial Gym houses six full-size racquetball courts, the Exercise Physiology Lab, and the equipment room for the Kinesiology and Physical Education Activity Classes.
