UMaine Multipurpose Facility


A new multipurpose center will be one of the signature projects of the master facilities plan. A new 3,000 seat arena will serve as the primary home venue for men’s and women’s basketball. New locker rooms and basketball office “suites” and visiting team locker rooms will create an environment that our basketball programs can clearly and proudly call home. as well as provide a much needed space on campus for other large-scale events such as Convocation, Graduate Student Commencement and many other campus and community events.

In addition to the important facility upgrades it will provide, the multipurpose center will serve as a backdrop to Morse Field at Alfond Stadium, with opportunities for improved preferred seating and creating a true stadium look and feel for our football program. Much needed facility improvements for Black Bear Football include a new locker room as well as dedicated office space for our coaches and staff. A 125-person video meeting room will provide all of our teams with a much needed space that is appropriate for full team meetings.

The new facility will include dedicated areas for strength and conditioning and sports medicine, ensuring all of our student-athletes continue to receive the best training and care in new and improved spaces. The facility will also become the new home for the athletic department staff with office and meeting spaces, as well new locations for ticketing and soft goods sales. When completed the new multipurpose center will be one of the signature buildings for Black Bear Athletics and the entire University of Maine campus.
