Murphy Center
Built in 1973, the Charles M. Murphy Athletic Center serves as home of the Blue Raiders men's and women's basketball team, who play their home games in the 11,520 seat Monte Hale Arena. It is also the location of the athletic department offices, HPER's department and the Blue Raiders Athletic Association office.
Aside from several auxiliary gyms, dance studios, racquetball courts, weight rooms and locker rooms, Murphy Center also sports a top of the line training room. The program allows students an opportunity to receive hands-on experience. The upper level also features an indoor track and field center, which has served as host site of several Sun Belt Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships.
In recent years, both the men's and women's basketball locker rooms have been renovated. The two facilities are now equipped to include new maple lockers and a lounge area with a stereo system and cable television. The men's tennis locker room, which also doubles as the locker room for visiting basketball teams, has also undergone a complete renovation.
