The building, which opened in 2021, has been transformational for the university’s entire athletics department and a point of pride for us at KDW.

The 54,000-square-foot, two-story project not only includes a new practice facility and new loge boxes within the seating bowl, but also features an underground tunnel to the arena, where the men and women’s home games are played. The first level features a full-sized practice court and two shootaround courts (which can be utilized for the university’s summer camps), a film room, player lounges and locker rooms for both teams, and an athletic training room with hydrotherapy and nutrition offerings. The tunnel connecting the LNBPC to the William R. Johnson Coliseum is also on the first level, allowing the men’s and women’s teams to use their locker rooms for both practice and game day.
The second level includes the entry lobby, coaches’ offices, conference rooms, weight room, and balcony where coaches, donors, and visitors can observe the practices on the courts below. In addition to the basketball programs, teams across Stephen F. Austin benefit from the facility with added weight room and athletic training spaces.
