Acadia Arena

Acadia Arena - completed in 1988, this facility is the most recent addition to Acadia's athletics facilities.

A multi-purpose room, used for meetings and classes was named the Wolfville Room in recognition of the harmony that exists between the Town and the University and the tremendous fan support given to our Varsity teams by residents of Wolfville.
