MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Stansbury Hall demolition is underway to make room for a new Business & Economics building.
Stansbury Hall opened in 1929 as the WVU Field House, just to the southwest of “Old” Mountaineer Field. It was the home of WVU basketball until 1970, when the WVU Coliseum was opened.
This was the home floor during the days of Hot Rod Hundley and Jerry West. It hosted the Southern Conference men’s basketball tournament in 1953. While the home venue of WVU basketball, the team compiled a record of 370-81 (.820) when playing there. In October 1973, it was renamed to honor Stansbury.
Harry Stansbury was a former Athletic Director at WVU.
