This gymnasium for men and women was built in 1925 in the Collegiate Gothic style. The designer was Cuno Kibele, a Muncie architect whose firm also was responsible for the Burkhardt Building. The construction cost of approximately $400,000 was provided by the Ball family, and Edmund Ball was on hand most days to personally supervise the work.

From 1925 to 1963, the Ball Teachers College Cardinals (or Hoosieroons, as they were first dubbed) played all their home basketball games here. Coaching legend Branch McCracken and players such as Ray Ashley, Marvin Heaton, and "Easy Ed" Butler were just a few of the stars from this era. With the construction of a new physical education building in 1963, Ball Gym became used primarily as a women's gym. An extensive restoration/renovation was completed in 1997.
