Bohler Gym, the home of Cougar volleyball, was built in 1928 and named after Cougar Legend J. Fred “Doc” Bohler. The entire building, including the gymnasium was renovated in 2000 and provides a home for all athletic offices and support areas. New scoreboards were added to the 2,752 seat capacity gym in the fall of 2003. In the summer of 2011 the court was stripped, sanded and painted to meet the new Nike brand identity guidelines. In April of 2012 new banners were hung on the east wall and the upper north and south walls were painted. These recent improvements are part of a new branding and facility enhancement model for all athletic department facilities.

In 1927, Governor Roland Hartley presented a cougar cub to the students of Washington State. This first cougar mascot was named Butch in honor of Herbert "Butch" Meeker of Spokane, who was WSU's gridiron football star at the time.

Governor Clarence D. Martin presented Butch II to the student body in 1938. Butch III and IV were twin cubs presented by Governor Arthur B. Langlie in January 1942. Governor Langlie also presented Butch V in 1955. Butch VI, the last live mascot on campus, died in the summer of 1978.

Mascot Purpose: Washington State University mascot, Butch, is a widely recognized symbol of the university. Appearances by Butch, not only at athletic events but also at other functions related to the university and its constituent groups, are a source of pride for members of the cougar family and a means of promoting the university.
