Description:
The Sports Center of Pensacola Christian College is a unique facility designed to encompass multiple events. The activities within the 130,000 s.f. building vary in size from ice skating to full-scale concerts and sporting events, with a seating capacity of 3,300 in the main arena. For natural insulation and energy conservation, the building is surrounded by a fully landscaped 16-foot earth berm.

The heart of the facility is an innovative feature. It incorporates an auditorium with retractable seating, racquetball courts, basketball courts, an ice skating rink, twelve-lane bowling alley, carpet golf, running track (which also doubles as a mezzanine for other events) and exercise facilities. Designed to maximize the potential of every square foot, the center of the facility also doubles as an auditorium, with excellent acoustics, retractable curtains, theatrical lighting, and video systems.
