Cam Henderson Center

The Cam Henderson Center is an indoor sports facility on Marshall University's campus in Huntington that houses multiple athletic spaces under one roof. The building contains courts and pools designed to serve the university's various sports programs and training needs.

The facility opened in 1981 after the state made a major investment in Marshall University's athletic infrastructure. This new building allowed the university to expand and improve its sports programs.

The center is named after Coach Cam Henderson, who shaped Marshall basketball during the 1930s and 1950s and left a lasting impact on the university's athletic identity. His legacy remains central to how the campus views its sports programs.

The facility is easily accessible from the main campus and connects directly to neighboring athletic buildings. Plan extra time when visiting for events, as parking and entry can get busy during major competitions.

A basketball player made an extraordinary long-distance shot in 1985 from near the opposite baseline, which is still marked on the court floor today. This unusual feat remains a talking point for visitors and athletes alike.
