UVA John Paul Jones Arena
The new John Paul Jones Arena offers a state-of-the-art practice facility. Weight training facilities, a training room, coaches’ offices, and expanded locker rooms round out the complex’s amenities. In addition to hosting men’s and women’s basketball competitions, the acoustically-optimized building featuring sophisticated video displays will be the venue for several events each year, including concerts, lectures, and traveling shows. The unique shape of the bowl is what distinguishes this facility from other collegiate arenas.
