Arena of Southwell Complex
In 2015 The Arena of Southwell Complex was renamed Bob Burchard Court at Southwell Complex.  The court was named after long-time Head Men’s Basketball Coach and Athletic Director Bob Burchard.

Bob Burchard Court at Southwell Complex has been the home for Columbia College Volleyball and Basketball since 1988. Named for Virginia Southwell Singletary, Southwell Complex includes Bob Burchard Court and The Courts area.

The court now known as Bob Burchard Court underwent extensive renovations in 2002 and now includes more than 550 chair-back seats and seating for over 1,000. 

In 2019 the locker rooms for men’s and women’s basketball underwent significant renovations and upgrades with the volleyball locker room renovations scheduled for late 2021.

Above Bob Burchard Court sits the Cougar press box which received both upgrades and expansion during the summer of 2021.  The space features state-of-the-art technology including new multicamera live streaming capabilities, new sound system, and mixing boards.  

The Courts area which includes two full regulation courts for basketball, volleyball, tennis, and other activities is available for general student use, intramural events, and of course Cougar athletics practices, training, and camps.
