THE FACILITY

Located on 115^th Street between Fifth and Lenox avenues in Manhattan, the SL Green StreetSquash Center is the competition home to Columbia’s Men's and Women's Varsity Squash teams.

The venue includes eight international squash courts (more than any other facility in New York City), four on each side of a divider, from which fans and coaches can watch from both sides. The center is operated by the StreetSquash program, an initiative for underprivileged local youth that provides learning and physical fitness opportunities. As part of Columbia Squash’s relationship with StreetSquash, each Lions player volunteers at the center once a week.

Located in the heart of New York City, SL Green StreetSquash is an ideal place for top squash talents to practice. The SL Green StreetSquash Center opened in November 2008 and has been home to the Columbia University men's and women's squash teams ever since.
