The Stephen C. O’Connell Center originally opened in 1980 and is named after the sixth president of UF. The building underwent a $64.5 million renovation in 2016. In the renovation, the entire interior area was demolished and rebuilt with the addition of a large hanging scoreboard and luxury suites. Gymnastics and swimming areas and locker rooms were improved, and a new entrance was built facing the stadium.
