Ole Miss Basketball Arena Features Valspar Coatings
The University of Mississippi, founded in 1848 and known for its athletic programs, recently commissioned a $96.5 million basketball arena, The Pavilion at Ole Miss. The multi-purpose facility is home to the men’s and women’s basketball program and also hosts graduation ceremonies, concerts and other university-wide events. The metal panels on the roof of the new arena are coated with Valspar’s Fluropon in Terra Cotta.
Work on the facility began with a groundbreaking ceremony in July 2014, and opened during a weekend-long celebration, January 7-10, 2016. AECOM Technology, an architecture and engineering firm based in Kansas City, Missouri, designed the facility. BL Harbert International located in Birmingham, Alabama was the general contractor with experience building several other SEC arenas.
