Facility Information Galen Center- 3400 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90007 Phone: (213) 740-0626 On October 21, 2006, the Galen Center opened its doors as the new home to USC's basketball and volleyball programs. The center puts the Trojan teams on an impressive stage, allowing the Trojans to strut their stuff in a 255,000 square-foot arena with 10,258 seats, and utilize new locker rooms for home and visitors, as well as a stateof-the-art weight room and medical training room. An attached 45,000 square-foot pavilion contains additional practice room with three sections with enough space for 4 full basketball courts or 9 volleyball courts as well as seating for 1,000 - along with space for coaches and administrative offices. Galen also has function rooms, a ticket office, concession stands and merchandise stores for visitors to the new complex and houses the Athletic Department Hall of Fame. Still, athletics won't be the only events to touch down at the Galen Center, however. The venue also plays host to concerts, commencement ceremonies, community events, lectures, meetings, shows, pageants and more. 4
