It is really a home away from home. Everyone cares about you like one big family.
The Otis Hawkins Center at Farrior Hall serves as the University Athletic Association’s latest expansion and commitment to student-athlete academic success and personal excellence.
After a $25 million dollar donation, the Otis Hawkins Center at Farrior Hall opened its doors in 2016. The donation has allowed its 35 plus staff members and nearly 500 student-athletes to have the space to strive for excellence and achieve success in all endeavors.
The 82,613 square foot facility includes a 125 — seat auditorium, 74 study rooms & tutoring labs, a Fuel Bar, and 35 offices dedicated to academic advising, tutoring services, student-athlete enhancement, nutrition services and mental health services.
