Bohler Gymnasium is a 3,000 seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Opened 88 years ago in 1928 and located directly northwest of Rogers Field (now the site of Martin Stadium), it was home to the Cougar basketball teams through March 1973,[1][2] as the new Beasley Coliseum opened that June.[3][4][5][6] A power outage at Beasley in January 1987 forced it back into service for a conference game against Arizona.[7][8]

Named after Fred Bohler (18851960) in October 1946, it was refurbished in 2000 and is currently the home venue of Cougar volleyball.
