Overview

McCamish Pavilion serves as the primary indoor basketball arena for the Georgia Institute of Technology Yellow Jackets. The venue occupies the site of the former Alexander Memorial Coliseum, originally built in 1956. A significant renovation completed in 2012 transformed the facility, replacing the old structure while retaining the distinctive roof geometry. It features a capacity of approximately 8,600 spectators arranged in a bowl configuration. The arena is integrated directly into the Georgia Tech campus in Midtown Atlanta. It hosts both men's and women's NCAA Division I basketball games throughout the winter season. The facility serves as the central hub for athletic events within the Georgia Tech Athletics Association.
