An arena-style basketball gymnasium was not built at Bensalem High School (it was to be phase 3) until 2011. Until then, the school's varsity boys' basketball team continued to play its home games in the much larger gym at the former BHS, Neil A. Armstrong Middle School nearby. The Bensalem School Board closed Armstrong due to declining enrollment throughout the school district in grades 6 to 8, with students subsequently able to enroll in the district's two other middle schools. Nevertheless, the high school boys' basketball team still uses the Armstrong gym throughout the winter season.
