On March 3, 2011, the $26 million Norville Center for Intercollegiate Athletics opened adjacent to the Gentile Arena. The Norville Center houses the university's athletic training facilities, locker rooms, as well as the offices of the athletic department that were formerly housed in Alumni Gym.[3]

The Gentile Center was the site of the 1999 Midwestern Collegiate Conference NCAA women's volleyball tournament.

The Gentile Center was also the site of the 2014 NCAA Men's Collegiate Volleyball Championships on May 1 and May 3, 2014.

Joe Gentile was a Chicago area car dealer who donated money to the university for the arena.[4][5]
