This 136,000 sq. ft. multipurpose facility was named for the Rev. William Patrick Power, C.S.Sp., one of the Spiritan priests who founded Duquesne. The Power Recreation Center, an 80,000 sq. ft. area on the second, third and fourth floors of the Power Center, is open seven days a week for Duquesne students and employees. It features secure access to aerobics space; 30 Nautilus cardio-fitness machines with personal viewing screens; basketball, volleyball and racquetball courts; an indoor track; free-weight rooms; separate student and staff locker facilities; offices, classrooms and Internet-accessible lounges.
The Charles J. Dougherty ballroom on the 5th floor hosts various speakers, events and weddings offering a great view of the city. On the street level, the building has the Duquesne University Bookstore, Freshëns, a snack bar offering salads, crepes and smoothies, as well as Moonlit Burgers—home of the signature “smash burger.”
