Renovated State Farm Center Complete Known as Assembly Hall from its construction in 1963 to 2013, the iconic home to Illinois basketball was renamed State Farm Center on April 29, 2013, with the an- nouncement of a 30-year, $60 million naming rights agreement. State Farm Center underwent a major renovation, which began following the conclusion of the 2013-14 basketball season, dubbed the Illinois Renaissance. The $170-million project included a renovated seating bowl; the addition of four levels of premium seating; improved restrooms and concessions; remodeled locker rooms, video room and team lounge; Hall of Fame space; air conditioning and many other amenities. The construction schedule was year-round, with the major elements occurring around each Fighting Illini basketball season. The most labor intensive part of the renova- tion began immediately following the final home game of the 2014-15 season, when the lower half of the seating bowl was torn out and reconstructed. The project concluded in time for the start of the 2016-17 season. The official dedication for renovated State Farm Center took place Nov. 29, when the Illini hosted North Carolina State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
