TheRay Lavietes Basketball Pavilion at the Briggs Athletic Center is a 1,636-seat multi-purposearena in theAllston neighborhood ofBoston.^[1] Owned byHarvard University, it is the second-oldest college basketball arena still in use (Fordham University'sRose Hill Gymnasium (1925) is older).The building was designed by Boston ArchitectGuy Lowell.^[2]

The facility was originally named the Briggs Athletic Center in honor ofLeBaron Russell Briggs, who served as dean of Harvard College from 1891 to 1902 and as the school's athletic director for 17 years. Briggs also served as president of theNCAA.^[3] It included an indoor track and batting cages, which were popular with local collegiate and professional baseball players, includingTed Williams. In 1981, the Gordon Indoor Track and Tennis Facility (located adjacent toHarvard Stadium and theBright Hockey Center) opened, and the building was refurbished as the new home to the Harvard basketball program, replacing theMalkin Athletic Center inCambridge, Massachusetts. The women's first game in the building was on November 26, 1982, againstChicago, and the men's inaugural game took place a day later against neighbor and rivalMIT. In March 1996, the building was rededicated to Ray Lavietes '36, a two-time basketball letterman who made a $2.1 million contribution to a second refurbishment project in 1995 and 1996.

In 2016 the university announced plans to renovate the facility with updated amenities. A new central scoreboard was installed as well as an expanded entrance lobby, ticketing area and locker rooms.^[4] Chairback seats were installed in the rear sections, which reduced seating capacity to 1,636, making Lavietes the smallest basketball arena in the Ivy League. The updated building opened in time for the 2017–18 men's and women's basketball season.^[5]
