It has 10 international sized courts, two of which have darker colored panels that allow for easier spectator viewing. These colored walls require the use of a white ball, and Trinity is the first college level squash program to utilize them. There is also an amphitheater built in the shape of a pyramid that enables up to 500 spectators to see all ten courts at once. | |

| The courts were finished in 1991. Upon their initial construction only three were international courts, the remaining seven being only intercollegiate. They were dedicated to George Kellner in a ceremony that took place in 2002. Kellner was a member of the class of 1964 and had been a squash champion during his time at Trinity. In the decades following his collegiate career, he was a nationally ranked squash player. Kellner stayed involved with Trinity, becoming a [[trustees|Trustee]] in 1990. | [{{ :george_a._kellner_squash_courts.jpg?400|George A. Kellner Squash Courts.
