The signage around both the men’s and women’s courts pays respect to the pasts and presents of their programs.

The designers made an effort to incorporate imagery of Los Angeles throughout the center, which was built in part as a recruiting tool.

The locker rooms were built to mimic the ones at Pauley Pavilion in order to give the players a sense of familiarity in the new center.

The facility’s weightroom is decked out with squat racks, powerlifting barbells, olympic weightlifting barbells, treadmills, full sets of dumbbells among other state-of-the-art fitness equipment.

The opening of the new center falls in line with the Under Armour deal taking effect. Under Armour started rolling out its official UCLA apparel over the summer.
