The $110 million James T. Morris Arena will be located on the IU Indianapolis campus immediately south of Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hall. It’ll house a basketball/volleyball court with 4,500 seats in addition to an auxiliary gym, community gathering places and office space.
The seating will be retractable to meet the needs of various sports and activities.
The IU Board of Trustees voted in November to name the venue after Morris, a longtime business and civics leader who served in various roles with the IU Board of Trustees, Pacers Sports and Entertainment and the Lilly Endowment. He was also chief of staff for Mayor Richard Lugar.
Construction on the arena is expected to wrap up late next year.
IU Indianapolis will celebrate the occasion with a groundbreaking ceremony and reception featuring university officials, city leaders and various sports industry leaders.
