Carter Gymnasium

Carter Gymnasium is a sports building in Buies Creek with multiple basketball courts and distinctive white-painted steel beams that define its interior. The facility includes locker rooms, storage areas, and classrooms designed to accommodate athletic and educational programs.

The gymnasium was built in 1952 and opened in 1953 as the primary home for Campbell University's basketball teams. After serving as a hub for collegiate sports for decades, it was retired as the main venue in 2008.

The facility hosted numerous collegiate sports events, including the 1988 Big South Conference Women's Basketball Tournament.

The building is university-owned and primarily used for campus activities, so visitor access depends on scheduled events. It is best to check ahead before planning a visit to the facility.

In 1964, a remarkably long high school basketball game took place here that went into 13 overtimes. This extraordinary matchup between Angier and Boone Trail remains a memorable moment in local sports history.
