The Andrew P. Stifel ‘91 Fencing Salle was dedicated in April of 1996, thanks to the generosity of the families of Andrew P. Stifel and Nina Farouk ‘97. Designed by then-head fencing coach Albert Peters and Cornell architect Bill Hall, the room includes approximately 4,600-square feet of fencing space as well as the coach’s office and equipment lockers.
The floor is a Bio-Tech III suspension floor finished in polished maple. The salle features nine Olympic size and caliber strips of perforated aluminum. The remote-controlled scoring mechanisms are permanently set in the ceiling, and one wall of the room is completely mirrored from floor to ceiling.
Each fencer has her own individual equipment locker and there is additional locker space for the men’s fencing club. These lockers, as well as the coach’s office, are finished in natural cherry, adding to the beauty of this exquisite facility.
The Stifel Fencing Salle is used for team and club practices, intercollegiate competition and recreational fencing. It has also been the training site for the Empire State Games, the Cornell Fencing Summer Sports School and United States Fencing Association competitions.
