The floor was painted like any other floor, with the boxes where the benches would normally be. The gym itself, however, has a unique design. The bleachers are raised above the level of the floor. The benches are one piece wooden, and are set on opposite sides of the floor straddling the division line.
The home bench is directly in front of the scorer's table. Visitors are on the opposite side. The benches sit in a recessed area in the wall at the base of the bleachers built for that purpose. The rest of the sideline area, including where the boxes are, probably is not wide enough to accommodate a bench.
