Norris Center Project

Built in 1976 with a renovation of the Taffy Abel Arena in 1995 the James  Norris Center has served generations of LSSU students and student athletes.

The Norris Center Renovation Project is designed to add services and areas that will allow it to continue serve future generations of Lakers, while adding critical support to the Department of Athletics.

This 5 million dollar, privately funded project will add or renovate over 36,000 sq ft of space. Taffy Abel Arena and the "Bud" Cooper Gymnasium will retain their quality, historic facilities, with renovations added to enhance the environment for athletes, fans, and students who use the Norris Center for classroom or recreation on a daily basis.

We are confident that the renovated Norris Center will again be a jewel on the LSSU campus.
