Design and Construction

The arena is in a U shape with the top closed. The curved western end is the main entrance and ticket sales office. The locker rooms, sports medicine facility and event support are located on the first floor or "event level." Access to suites and lower level seating, concessions, bathrooms and VIP lounges is located on the second floor or the "lower concourse," while higher level seating, concessions, bathrooms and the ticket office are via the third floor "upper concourse," which is actually at ground level from the parking lot and garage.

The arena features a custom designed steel roof support structure. The pieces were manufactured in San Angelo, Texas and shipped by trucks to the site. Some pieces were so large and heavy, it took two large cranes to hoist them in place. The arena is being outfitted with the latest in lighting and audio/video technologies, including four 16' by 9' (4.9 by 2.7 m) plasma screens for game replay. Total cost of the audio/video system exceeds $7 million.

A 900-car parking garage was simultaneously constructed next to the arena, mainly for VIP and donor parking. A double story pedestrian walkway links the arena to the parking garage. A separate mechanical plant is part of the parking lot structure and provides heating and cooling functions.

The arena was designed by VMDO Architects and Ellerbe Becket, and the general contractor was Barton Mallow. Work began in April 2003, which included the demolition of a parking lot that served University Hall. The arena celebrated its topping off on June 22, 2005. Most of the arena was given its certificate of occupancy on June 16, 2006. The parking garage was inspected and passed on July 15, 2006. The locker rooms, practice courts and the sports medicine facility were inspected and passed August 4, 2006. One man died during construction, the result of a heart attack.
