Whittemore Center
The Whittemore Center is a multi-purpose arena located on the UNH Durham campus. The arena is home to many UNH Women's Gymnastics meets. The University dedicated the arena to Frederick B. Whittemore and his family on May 5, 1996, in recognition of their long history of service to the state of New Hampshire and the University. Whittemore's father, Laurence Whittemore, served as a trustee of the University System of New Hampshire from 1944 to 1960, and president of the board from 1954 to 1960. A visionary and philanthropist, Frederick Whittemore is a founding director of the UNH Foundation. The Whittemore Family Foundation's generous contribution to this facility exemplifies the family's ongoing commitment to education through support for academic programs and student life.
The Whittemore Center at Key Auto Group Complex opened Nov. 10, 1995, with the men's hockey team defeating defending national champion Boston University, 6-5, in overtime. The Whittemore Center at the Key Auto Group Complex has been the site of the 2002, 2005, 2016 and 2024 Women's Frozen Four.

Whittemore Center
The Whittemore Center is a multi-purpose arena located on the UNH Durham campus. The arena is home to many UNH Women's Gymnastics meets. The University dedicated the arena to Frederick B. Whittemore and his family on May 5, 1996, in recognition of their long history of service to the state of New Hampshire and the University. Whittemore's father, Laurence Whittemore, served as a trustee of the University System of New Hampshire from 1944 to 1960, and president of the board from 1954 to 1960. A visionary and philanthropist, Frederick Whittemore is a founding director of the UNH Foundation. The Whittemore Family Foundation's generous contribution to this facility exemplifies the family's ongoing commitment to education through support for academic programs and student life.
The Whittemore Center at Key Auto Group Complex opened Nov. 10, 1995, with the men's hockey team defeating defending national champion Boston University, 6-5, in overtime. The Whittemore Center at the Key Auto Group Complex has been the site of the 2002, 2005, 2016 and 2024 Women's Frozen Four.
