The Legacy Center, originally known as the Health and Human Performance Education Complex (orH&HP Complex), is a multi-purpose arenainLake Charles, Louisiana, on the campus of McNeese State University across the street from the Jack V. Doland Athletic Complex.^[1] The 145,000-square-foot (13,500 m²) facility includes six classrooms, 12 faculty offices, a lab, a sports training center, an arena seating around 4,200 for basketball and other events as well as a volleyball court with seating for 600.^[2] Crawford Architects and Randy M Goodloe AIA, APAC were the project architectural firms, and the general contractor was Alfred Palma, LLC.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Renaming[edit]

On August 4, 2021, McNeese announced that the arena had been renamed The Legacy Center after Lake Charles couple David and Kimberly Griffin pledged $2.5 million in donations over 10 years. The "Legacy" name reflects the Griffins' ownership of local retailer Legacy Jewelers, as well as the name of their farm, Legacy Fields.^[7]
