Designed to be modern yet contextual in its campus setting, the building provides a dramatic arrival with a transparent front entrance that reveals its interior. Natural light enters from three sides of the arena through ample shaded glass that complements the brick façade, which blends with the campus palate. The curved roof is a nod to its predecessor, the beloved 2,500-seat Alumni Hall, which hosted athletics and campus events since 1959.

In addition to the performance venue, the building’s 85,000-square-feet house locker rooms, a theater-style film room, team lounge, training rooms, staff offices, team stores, a bar, well-appointed locker rooms, and numerous back-of-house spaces.

The lower bowl accommodates approximately 2,400 people, with 700 retractable seats to create greater floor area for team practices and flexibility for other events. The second deck holds around 1,100 and is highlighted by The Stag Club, which offers premium seating and hospitality for 150.

The design provides unobstructed views of the court from the concourse on both levels. Additional fan amenities include a center-hung LED video board, a ribbon video board lining the front of the second tier, chair-back seating, satellite concession stands, a beer garden, and a spirit shop.
