Located at the center of campus on G Avenue between 7th and 8th streets, it serves as the home for Eastern Oregon Mountaineers indoor teams. It was constructed in 1958 with a "wing" architecture theme,[1] and seats 1,403.[2] Quinn Coliseum is named for coach Bob Quinn, who coached a variety of sports at the school between 1929 and 1967.[2]
