The Kenney Gym and the Kenney Gym Annex are two buildings located at 1402-06 Springfield Avenue in Urbana, Illinois, on the campus on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Although the two buildings have been physically connected since 1914, they were built separately.〔 They were jointly added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 under the name Military Drill Hall and Men's Gymnasium.〔(Chart toppers: Best area gyms to watch a prep game, courtesy Marcus Jackson ) The News Gazzette - February 28, 2012〕 ==History== The one-story building now known as the Kenney Gym Annex, the easternmost of the two structures, was built in 1889-90 as the Military Drill Hall and was designed by Nathan Clifford Ricker. The interior was converted for use as a gymnasium in 1914, at which time it became known as the Annex to the Men's Gym building next to it. The conversion preserved the building's large column-free open space, which had been a necessity for military drilling. An eastern addition was made to the building in 1918.〔("NRHP Designation Report" )〕 The Kenney Gym, the two-story building to the west, was built in 1902 and was designed by Nelson Strong Spencer〔 in the Renaissance Revival style,〔("H.E. Kenney Gym" ) on the Fighting Illini Facilities page〕 strongly influenced by Ricker's design for the drill hall.〔 It was originally called the Men's Gymnasium but was renamed the Men's Old Gym when Huff Hall opened in 1925. Finally in 1974, it was named after Harold Eugene "Hek" Kenney, a former UIUC wrestler, coach, and administrator in the early 20th century.〔
