Reynolds Coliseum is a historic multi-purpose arena on NC State’s Central Campus. The building is known for its long, rectangular footprint and a high-energy atmosphere.

The main entrance leads directly into the Grand Hall, which spans the length of the building’s north end. This area serves as the primary concourse and a permanent museum of NC State athletics. The floor is polished concrete with integrated red and white patterns. It is completely level and provides a smooth surface for navigation. The walls are lined with large, glass-encased exhibits featuring trophies, jerseys, and interactive touchscreens. In the center of the hall, several tall, vertical glass “pylons” celebrate various sports. These displays are spaced widely enough to allow for clear, unobstructed movement.

The heart of the building is the sunken arena bowl, featuring wide, accessible ramps and elevators that lead from the concourse level down to the court level and up to the upper seating tiers. The lower level features bleacher-style and individual chair-back seats that slope down toward the court. The upper level provides a “bird’s-eye view” of the action. Handrails are present on all aisles to assist with the steepness of the stairs.

The floor is polished hardwood. During events, the sound in the bowl is highly resonant and loud due to the building’s arched steel roof.

The side corridors that run parallel to the court are narrower than the main entrance hall but maintain a consistent, open feel. Concession stands and restrooms are located along these concourses. Along the outdoor east concourse, visitors will find life-sized bronze statues of legendary NC State coaches.
