Odle Arena features stadium seating for approximately 1,500 spectators.[3] The facility is air-conditioned and the main court is lined for both basketball and volleyball play.
The arena has undergone several major renovations since its opening. In 1998, the original floor surface was replaced with a new maple wood court.[4] In 2012, a major renovation installed new seating, including chair-back seats behind the benches, and a new heating and air conditioning system.[1][5] In 2016, the court was resurfaced and named Paul Patterson Court. New lighting, banners, and a video screen were also installed.[4]
Beyond serving as the primary competition venue, Odle Arena houses significant portions of Taylor University's athletic and health departments, including offices for the Taylor University Intercollegiate Athletic Department. the Athletic Training Department. and the Kinesiology Department (formerly Physical Education and Human Performance). It also houses locker rooms, racquetball courts, classrooms, a concession stand, and the Taylor Athletic Hall of Fame.[1] In 2004, the Kesler Student Activities Center (KSAC), which contains an indoor track and additional recreational courts, was constructed and physically connected to the west side of Odle Arena, expanding the overall athletic complex.[1]
