Schar Center

The largest facility on campus, this arena is home to the Phoenix basketball and volleyball teams and includes a spacious entry atrium, a large practice gymnasium, locker room and team facilities, and a hospitality room for special events. The new building tripled the capacity previously accommodated at the existing alumni gymnasium.

Working on a fast-paced schedule, Christman completed the building a full four months ahead of schedule. The project team continued working on site to complete owner-issued change orders, including extra touches that make the Schar Center all the more inspiring. Having the project done early allowed the University to begin using the facility prior to the fall semester, which allowed for numerous athletic recruits to visit the impressive new space.
