If you're unfit, this is where you go for your [[physical education requirement|phys ed]] classes. It's underground.
 
 
 
The '''Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center''' is the Morningside campus's primary recreational fitness facility. Located underground in the northern part of campus, the facility was originally built in response to the failure to construct the [[Morningside Park Gymnasium]] in the 1960's. It was recently renovated.
