Built in 1970, the Physical Fitness Center has established itself as a showcase for volleyball in the metropolitan area. The 1,200-seat arena hosted Hofstra’s NCAA Tournament first round match in 1995 and has hosted regional and national United States Volleyball Association events, including the 1983 exhibition between the United States Olympic team and the Japanese Olympic team. Hofstra's Physical Fitness Center, PFC for short, also served as the 1987 home of the New York Liberties of Major League Volleyball and as the training site for the 1989 United States Maccabiah teams.
The Physical Fitness Center was resurfaced for the second time in 1995 with a wooden Thrust-A-Pad floor, which covers the entire 40,000-square-foot building and gives Hofstra the second largest indoor wooden facility on the East Coast. The floor has been placed over the old synthetic surface and adds greater flexibility, thereby decreasing the chance of leg injuries.
