Hec Edmundson Pavilion

Hec Edmundson Pavilion, Sports arena at University of Washington, Seattle, United States

Hec Edmundson Pavilion is a sports arena on the University of Washington campus in Seattle with seating for roughly 10,000 spectators. The venue primarily hosts basketball games and university athletic competitions, with direct connections to campus pathways and nearby transportation.

Designed by Bebb and Gould, the pavilion was built in nine months for $600,000 and opened on December 27, 1927, as the University of Washington Pavilion. It was renamed on January 16, 1948, for Clarence S. "Hec" Edmundson, an Olympian in 1912 who coached basketball for 27 seasons and track through 1954. A 19-month renovation completed in 2000 cost $40 million and raised capacity from 7,900 to 10,000.

The arena is nicknamed "Hec Ed" after Clarence S. "Hec" Edmundson, the 1912 Olympian who coached UW basketball for 27 seasons and track through 1954. A bronze statue of a dog stands in front, and the west end's six arched windows, long painted over, were uncovered in the 1999–2000 renovation.

The building has multiple entry points and sits conveniently on campus with direct access to walking paths and nearby transportation options. Visitors should allow time to explore the area beforehand, as the campus is large and parking can be limited.

The bronze dog statue in front of the arena honours Dubs, the Washington Huskies' mascot; the arena's brick facade also carries the name "CLARENCE S. 'HEC' EDMUNDSON PAV" in a band of lettering. The building's 1999-2000 renovation cost $40 million and took 19 months, during which the basketball teams played a season at Seattle Center.
