History


Construction on the center began in 1983 with an endowment from the Chiles Foundation, and the new facility opened in 1984. In 2006, the school completed $1 million in upgrades to the women's locker rooms, followed by renovations of the weight room in 2008.[1] In 2010, the scoreboard over center court was replaced with a new center-hung video system.[1] In addition to the video system, two new basketball scoreboards were installed along with three-sided shot clocks.[2] The school plans to continue renovations, as well as some expansion, with a $2 million project on upgrading the men's locker rooms, as well as expansions and the construction of a study center for student athletes.[1]
