Rothwell looks a lot more expansive that it did a hundred years ago, but the 1910 gymnasium did have a lot of facilities. The complex had a 4-person track, an aquatic center, an outdoor gym, a trophy room, and more. While the modern Student Rec Center holds a lot more amenities, the original Rothwell was one of the most advanced gyms in the Midwest at the time.

Construction of the new basketball arena began in 1969, officially opening in 1972. Construction strikes and the lack of funds caused the auditorium's slow development. The 1971 Kansas-Missouri game was supposed to close Brewer Fieldhouse as the basketball arena, but Hearnes hadn't yet been fully built.

Added in 1989, the Student Recreation Center became an integral part of MU athletics. The addition marked the 100th anniversary of the oldest structure in the athletic complex--Rothwell Gymnasium.

The Women's Gym began small and simple, as one can see in this photo. Later, in 1922, the University constructed McKee Gymnasium. McKee was also women-specific, but gave them many more amenities in the gymnasium.

Previously, Mizzou Basketball played at the Hearnes Center. In 2003, construction began for a new arena. Mizzou Arena can be also known as Paige Sports Arena.
