BL Harbert International was selected by the University of Mississippi to construct a 230,000-square-foot basketball arena. The 9,600-seat arena opened 5 weeks early, just in time to host the first men’s basketball game against the Crimson Tide.

The students and faculty were able to sign their name into history on the last beam in place at the Arena. The beam was placed in a safe spot just where students, faculty, and workers could participate. This brought much buzz to an already excited campus at the new state-of-the-art NCAA facility.
