History and Renovations
Recreation Hall was opened in 1977 for intercollegiate athletics, as well as other large events such as intramural sports and public events. The capacity of the Pavilion is nearly 8,000 people and can provide 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) of floorspace.
In Spring of 2004, UC Davis opened its doors to the Activities & Recreation Center (ARC). This structure served as a massive extension to the currently existing Pavilion. Since the two buildings have been fused into one massive complex, Recreation Hall's name was changed to The Pavilion at ARC upon the opening of the ARC in 2004.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
