Mott Athletics Center

1 Grand Ave
San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
Opened: January 15, 1960
Robert A. Mott Athletics Center, originally called the Main Gym and then the Mott Gym, is a 3,032 seat, indoor multi-purpose arena on the campus of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. The arena officially opened on January 15, 1960 for a game between the Cal Poly men's basketball team and San Diego State. The gym was named after Robert A. Mott (at the time referred to as "Mott Gym") on September 24, 1988. Mott had been a physical education faculty member and department head at Cal Poly between 1946-1978.

With Cal Poly officials looking for a larger alternative to the previously used Crandall Gym on campus, construction for the new multi-purpose arena was well underway by April 1959. The complex's cost totaled a reported $2 million as of September 1959 (covering not only the gym itself but also surrounding practice courts and a field), with construction contracted to Maino Construction Company of San Luis Obispo. (In years since, the surrounding practice surfaces have been remade into a parking garage, a beach volleyball court and a recreation center.) Costs ultimately totaled $2.2 million by the time of the complex's opening in January 1960.
