-The George A. Kellner Squash Courts are housed in [[ferris_athletic_center|Ferris Athletic Center]] and serve both Trinity men's and women's [[athletics|squash]] teams. There are 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 10 courts at once. +

 Construction on the courts was finished in 1991. Initially, 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. After graduating from Trinity, Kellner stayed involved with the College, becoming a [[trustees|Trustee]] in 1990. Construction on the courts was finished in 1991.
