SCHAAL AQUATICS CENTER

On April 21, 1998, former Aggie swimmer Rand Schaal and his father, Ted, made a $1.4 million donation to the university, $1 million of which was earmarked toward the construction of a new aquatics facility. That contribution, the largest in the his- MARK HONBO tory of the intercollegiate athletics department, helped spur the 1999 Facilities And Campus Enhancement (F.A.C.E.) Initiative, which funded the remainder of the aquatics center as well as other campus venues. The complex features an all-deep 65-meter by 25-yard pool with a depth ranging from seven feet to 14 feet (for diving purposes), men’s and women’s locker rooms, four team rooms, training facilities, office space and a fixed-seating capacity for approximately 500. The Schaal Aquatics Center opened its doors during the 2003-04 season, serving UC Davis men’s and women’s swimming and diving, and the Aggie men’s and women’s water polo programs. In its short lifetime, it has already hosted several championship events, including both the men’s and women’s WWPA Championships in 2004-05 and the 2005 USWP Men’s National Championships. In May of 2006, Schaal Aquatics Center served as the host for the eight-team National Collegiate Women’s Water Polo Championships (shown above). The event marked the first time an NCAA final was held on the UC Davis campus since the Division II men’s gymnastics championships took place at the Pavilion (then Recreation Hall).

THE PAVILION

HICKEY GYMNASTICS CENTER

The Pavilion, formerly known as Recreation Hall, serves as home court for UC Davis basketball, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics, as well as con- certs and special events. With a seating capacity of nearly 8,000, the Pavilion ranks as one of the largest on-campus arenas in Northern California. The former Lower Hickey Gym, the first home of women’s athletics in the post-Title IX era, was con- verted to a first-class practice facility for the Aggie gymnastics team in 2005. LA RUE FIELD

Recognized in 1999 as “Softball Field of the Year” by the Sports Turf Managers Association, La Rue Field hosted five NCAA West Region Softball Champion- ships in the past decade. Recent additions include bat- ting cages, covered dugouts and improved press areas.

SCHAAL AQUATICS CENTER

In January of 2004, the Ted & Rand Schaal Aquatics Center hosted its first event. The complex features an Olympic-sized pool, locker rooms, team rooms, office space and permanent seating for approximately 500 spectators. The aquatics center will allow UC Davis to host championship events, including the 2006 NCAA Women’s Water Polo Championships.
