With the completion of Caldwell and Jadwin, Dillon Gym evolved into a center for intramural and club athletics, with most varsity squads dressing and practicing in the newer facilities. Caldwell, which predated coeducation and thus made no provision for women athletes, is scheduled for expansion and renovation. Jadwin, on the other hand, may well persist longer than any of its predecessors. Princeton has in succession outgrown (or lost to fire) the Bonner-Marquand Gym, the University Gymnasium, and Dillon Gymnasium, none of which lasted more than 50 years in the role as Princeton's primary athletic facility. With no replacement in sight, Jadwin Gym is only two decades away from passing that mark.
