In 2013, Ursuline College successfully gained NCAA Division II status. One week later, an EF1 tornado with winds reaching 110 mph touched down on the Ursuline College campus, downing multiple trees and destroying an exterior wall of the gymnasium.

The facility features the Jane and Lee Seidman Gymnasium, a 1,000 seat multi-sport venue that is home to the Arrows basketball and volleyball team.[5]
