Alumni Hall is the on-campus basketball arena at Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island. It was built in 1955 to suit the needs of the basketball program, under the direction of college president Rev. Robert J. Slavin, O.P. The teams had previously played either off-campus or in a small gymnasium in the basement of Bishop Harkins Hall (a space which would later become the Blackfriars Theatre).
