SHELL & TRUSS SYSTEM
Elements of the original design were preserved, including the triangular truss system and concrete shell, to ensure Pauley Pavilion remains one of the most recognizable sports arenas in the world.
The concourse provides natural light and additional room for concessions, restrooms, merchandise store and ticketing area.
CONCOURSE
BASKETBALL COURT
The new court is made from classic maple wood that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which ensures the wood is sourced from the environment in a responsible manner. The entire project is on track to achieve LEED Gold Certification.
TEAM SPACES
By adding a two-story facility under Bruin Walk, the design accommodates new men’s and women’s locker rooms for players and coaches, a film room, training room, weight room, and a tunnel entrance.
PAVILION CLUB
The Pavilion Club, located below the concourse, accommodates up to 300 guests with food, beverage and bar service. It will also be available for special events throughout the year.
