The '''Estelle & Zoom Fleisher Athletic Center''' was a 1,600-seat multi-purpose [[arena]] in [[Newark, New Jersey]], USA.

Built in 1967, it was the home of the [[New Jersey Institute of Technology]] [[NJIT Highlanders|Highlanders]] men's and women's [[basketball]], [[volleyball]], [[fencing]] and [[Swimming (sport)|swim]] teams until the [[Wellness and Events Center]] opened.<ref>[http://www.nj.com/newark/community/index.ssf/2011/03/post_6.html ''NJIT Opens Athletic Facility'']</ref>

The multi-purpose arena had a main hall area with three basketball/volleyball courts which could be independently partitioned for simultaneous tournament hosting and practice. Other amenities includes a medical clinic, a 25-yard indoor swimming pool, a fitness center, two weight rooms, sauna, training room, locker rooms, racquetball courts and a two-lane jogging track.

NJIT played its last game at the arena on February 23, 2017, an 88–87 win over USC Upstate in front of a crowd of 677. The team has since moved to the new [[Wellness and Events Center]] starting with the 2018-19 season.
