Carneval Athletic Pavilion

  • The Carneval Athletic Pavilion (CAP) is designed to meet the needs of the University's general recreation, intramural, wellness and intercollegiate programs. Drop-in and free-play activities are available daily in every area, from the basketball court to the swimming pool. Informal programs and varied activities are offered throughout the school year.

    Students, faculty, and staff can take part in friendly intramural sports year round.  Programs for men, women, and co-ed competition are organized on an individual basis with an opportunity to participate in numerous activities. These programs, coupled with Gannon University's concern for the well-rounded physical development of each student, compliment the student's intellectual, moral, and spiritual development.
