TheCharles E. Smith Center is a 5,000-seat multipurposearena inWashington, D.C. Opened on November 17, 1975,[2] it is home to theGeorge Washington Revolutionaries men's and women'sbasketball teams, as well as the university's swimming,water polo,gymnastics, andvolleyball teams. From 2014 to 2018, it was the home of theWashington Kastles ofWorld TeamTennis. Smith Center also became the temporary home of theWashington Mystics as they made a run at aWNBA Championship in 2018. Smith Center is located on the main George Washington campus inFoggy Bottom, on the block bounded by 22nd and 23rd and F and G Streets NW. The arena also has hosted concerts and includes practice courts, a swimming pool, a weight room, and athletic department offices.

The building was named forCharles E. Smith, who was a university trustee and chairman of the Committee on University Development.

A $43 million update and expansion of the Smith Center began in February 2008, due in part to a $10 million gift from the family of Charles E. Smith.[3] Renovations were finished before the start of the 2010-2011 Basketball season.

On September 11, 2018, the Smith Center's Jumbotron collapsed onto the court below while undergoing maintenance. No one was injured in the incident, possibly due to the Jumbotron's already-lowered position before the fall.[4]
