University Sports Complex, Multi-purpose sports arena at Loyola University New Orleans, United States.
The University Sports Complex at Loyola University New Orleans is a multi-purpose facility housing two basketball courts, six volleyball courts, and an Olympic-size swimming pool with six lanes across two levels. The layout allows multiple teams and programs to train and compete simultaneously in separate areas.
The facility opened in 1987 with funding from Freeport-McMoRan, replacing an earlier Loyola Field House that had stood on Freret Street. This development expanded the university's athletic capabilities significantly.
The facility serves as the home base for Loyola Wolf Pack teams, providing space where student athletes train and compete in basketball, swimming, and volleyball. When you walk through, you notice how central these sports are to the university's identity and student life.
The complex is housed on the fifth and sixth floors of a parking garage, making it easy to access with parking available on-site. Plan to visit during school hours when athletic programs are most active and you can observe training sessions.
An indoor suspended track that measures one-eighth of a mile winds through the upper levels of the building, allowing runners to train in an enclosed space. This unusual solution was built into the parking garage structure to maximize available training options.
