Memorial Gym
564 Tech Dr
Ruston, LA 71270
Opened: January 1, 1952
Closed: March 20, 1982
Memorial Gym was built as the home of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs men's basketball team. Originally, the men's team lived on the upper west side of the gym and the visiting opponents would bunk on the upper east side of the gym. In 1974, the gym became home to newly formed Lady Techster's basketball team. They played here until the 1981-82 season.

Memorial Gym, with its terrazzo floors and tiled walls, built in 1952 in Art Deco style, is rich in history and tradition. Beautiful concrete reliefs of magnolias and the bulldog are carved above the front doors of the gym. A magnificent carved concrete relief mural of baseball players, basketball players, football players, and track athletes adorns the front top of the building facing the newly constructed Mayfield Avenue Parking Lot. The gym was named in memory and honor of the Louisiana Tech students who paid the ultimate sacrifice during WW II. A bronze plaque listing the 142 former student's names that was given by the class of June 1944 is hanging in the gym.

The final game played in Memorial Gym was on March 20, 1982. The Lady Techster’s defeated Kentucky 82-60.
