The City of West Monroe approached TBA Studio with a vision for a new sports complex that features indoor basketball courts adaptable for various sports activities. West Monroe Sports and Events includes administrative offices, a kitchen, flexible team meeting spaces, and a mezzanine level for spectators. Constructed using concrete tilt walls, the 112,000-square-foot complex was built quickly and economically.
Prominently located facing I-20, it serves as a landmark for travelers passing through West Monroe. The spacious double-height lobby provides gathering areas for teams and includes a gift shop for players and parents. A curtain wall envelops this space, allowing natural northern light to reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
The facility accommodates a variety of sports, including basketball, volleyball, soccer, pickleball, and racquetball, in addition to serving as an event space for cheer and dance competitions, community events, and more.
