The Legacy Center, originally known as the Health and Human Performance Education Complex (or H&HP Complex), is a multi-purpose arena in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on the campus of McNeese State University across the street from the Jack V. Doland Athletic Complex.[1] The 145000square feet 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]
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]
