The arena can be configured several ways depending on the event or sport. It can accommodated over 4,500 guests. The University Center can be converted to serve as a concert venue, convocation center, gathering area for university-wide activities, family entertainment events, and intercollegiate athletics. The facility is home to the NSUuniversity wide Sharks Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Women’s Volleyball Teams as well as the Athletic department. It provides locker rooms, equipment rooms and a team lounge, among other amenities.

The University Center arena is being operated by leading facilities management firm, SMG Management Inc.
