UCLA’s GYMNASTICS ARENAS
Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom
John Wooden Center
Home to Bruin athletic teams since 1965, Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom is regarded as one
of the finest all-around collegiate facilities in the nation and has been the site of numerous illustrious
events, from NCAA Championships, Olympic gymnastics, presidential debates to award shows.
One of the most attractive buildings on the UCLA campus is the John Wooden Center, a 136,000
square foot recreation complex, named after the legendary UCLA basketball coach.
In 1984, the eyes of the world watched as Peter Vidmar, Mitch Gaylord and Tim Daggett led the
USA men’s gymnastics team to its first ever gold medal. All-around gold medalist Mary Lou Retton
captured the hearts of the world with her gutty performance and bubbly personality.
The building serves students, faculty and staff and houses UCLA Gymnastics’ practice facility, Yates
Gym. For the 2012 season, while Pauley Pavilion was undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation,
the John Wooden Center hosted UCLA home events for the gymnastics, women’s basketball and
men’s and women’s volleyball teams.
In addition, Pauley Pavilion has served as the site for numerous NCAA events as well as concerts,
weddings and the 1988 Presidential Debate between George Bush and Michael Dukakis. In 1994,
Pauley Pavilion hosted the 75th Anniversary Convocation celebrating UCLA’s years of academic
achievement in which the keynote speaker was President Bill Clinton.
Inside the building are nine racquetball courts, two squash courts, a rock-climbing wall, a strength
and conditioning room, a basketball gymnasium with three regulation courts and seating for 2,000
people, a volleyball and badminton gymnasium, three dance studios, a gymnastics training center, a
matted room for Judo and Karate classes, locker room and saunas, and numerous meeting rooms.
Pauley Pavilion is home to the UCLA Gymnastics team and was the site of the 1984, 1998, 2004
and 2013 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships. In 2004, UCLA made history in its home
arena by winning the national title in Pauley Pavilion with a Championship record score. The
UCLA men’s gymnastics team won both of their NCAA titles in Pauley Pavilion in 1984 and 1987.
The office phone number for the Wooden Center is (310) 206-8307.
The arena underwent a multi-million dollar renovation at the top of the decade and reopened in
November 2012.
