Built in 1990, the Merillat Sport and Fitness Center provides educational, recreation and fitness facilities for all Adrian College students, faculty members and staff. The 80,000 square-foot complex includes a multi-sport field house for general recreational use with courts for basketball, volleyball and tennis, surrounded by a one-tenth mile indoor track.

The MSFC also houses a conditioning room, classrooms, a physiology laboratory, and Vivian Wellness Center, as well as a performance gymnasium which seats 1,300 persons and serves as home to the Bulldog acrobatics & tumbling, basketball, volleyball, wrestling teams. Offices of the exercise science/physical education department faculty and athletic department coaches and administrators are also contained in the building.

The Merillat Center is named in honor of Orville and Ruth Merillat, civic and business leaders in the community of Adrian for many years, whose leadership gift to the project provided the impetus for construction.
