FIRST LOOK: Clemson unveils new men’s basketball practice facility
Clemson offered a first look inside Brown Family Pavilion, the new home for its men's basketball program after a $40 million overhaul.
Clemson University recently revealed its new men's basketball practice facility, Brown Family Pavilion, located adjacent to Littlejohn Coliseum. The $40 million project features a polished hardwood court surrounded by purple and orange padding, with motivational imagery of former Tigers adorning the walls. Grayson Mann captured a brief glimpse inside the facility, showing players working on their shots.
The new practice gym will provide dedicated space for both the men's and women's basketball programs, addressing scheduling conflicts that arose after Swann Pavilion's opening in 2016. The facility includes areas for team spaces, coaches' offices, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and sports medicine shared by both programs.
Clemson secured the funding through $40 million in athletic revenue bonds, ensuring the project would not necessitate tuition or student fee increases. Construction commenced in 2025, with completion anticipated for the start of the 2026-27 basketball season, allowing the team to begin using the new gym prior to their season opener against American on November 6.
The pavilion is named in honor of Jim and Candace Brown, whose significant 2022 donation remains the largest gift in IPTAY history.
