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.
