Jones-Hill House

About

The Jones-Hill House is an indoor collegiate sports training complex in the eastern United States, located on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park, a suburb north of Washington, D.C. In the center of the campus on 14.5 acres (5.9 ha) of land, it is adjacent to Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium, near Stamp Student Union and McKeldin Library. Constructed between 1952 and 1955 at a cost of $3.3 million ($39.7 million in 2025 ), the venue served for nearly a half-century as the home court of the Maryland Terrapins men's and women's basketball teams. Formerly named the William P. Cole Jr. Student Activities Building and commonly known as Cole Field House, it was renamed in April 2021 in honor of Billy Jones and Darryl Hill, the first Black men to integrate basketball and football at Maryland, respectively.

A multi-phase, $196 million renovation commenced in 2015 to transform the capacity 14,956-seat basketball arena into a 356,000-square-foot (33,100 m2) sports and academic complex that includes an indoor practice facility and operations center for the university's football program, a sports science and sports medical research center, and an incubator for entrepreneurs.
