HTC Center, Sports arena in Conway, South Carolina, US

The HTC Center is a 3,370-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina. It replaced Kimbel Arena as the home of the university's men's and women's basketball teams and women's volleyball team. Seating includes 662 chair-back seats behind the team benches, 814 bench-back seats opposite, about 700 at each end, 40 courtside seats and balcony sections in the corners.

The HTC Center opened in 2012 on the campus of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina, replacing Kimbel Arena as the home of the men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams. An earlier planned arena, the YRT2 Arena, was to have opened in 2008 and host a future ECHL franchise, the Myrtle Beach Thunderboltz, but that project did not proceed. On August 2, 2012, Horry Telephone Cooperative bought the naming rights, and the venue was originally known as the Student Recreation and Convocation Center.

The arena is named for Horry Telephone Cooperative, which bought the naming rights on August 2, 2012; before that it was the Student Recreation and Convocation Center. The men's basketball team opened the building on November 9, 2012, beating Akron 74–70 in overtime, and the women followed on November 12 with a 58–39 win over North Carolina Central.

The facility is designed for easy navigation, with clear signage marking the fitness areas on the second floor and the main arena on the ground level. Parking is available on site, and the location is accessible by public transportation.
