In 2014, the University opened the Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex thanks to a $12 million gift from 1991 graduate [[Kim Pegula]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.houghton.edu/news/archive.php?p=4710|title=News Archive|access-date=February 11, 2017}}</ref> The complex is named after Kim's father Ralph Kerr, an instructor in Houghton's Adult Education program, and her husband [[Terrence Pegula]]. Three lighted turf facilities are home to the Houghton Highlander soccer, baseball, softball, field hockey, and outdoor track. The multipurpose field house includes an eight-lane, 200-meter track and six tennis courts, offering a competition venue for the indoor track and tennis programs. It also provides dedicated practice space for outdoor sports over the winter and during inclement weather and serves as a hub of involvement for the campus and the surrounding communities of Northern Allegany County and Western New York.
