+ | The Mullins Center has been a lively presence since its opening preview on January 31, 1993. The Center is the site of UMass basketball and hockey, and it serves as a public skating rink, a concert hall, and a center for other ceremonial occasions, not only for the University, but for the whole Pioneer Valley. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This brick building is sensitively designed to avoid a bulky appearance, and is enhanced by a low-slung metallic roof. The public skating rink is a separate, yet integrated, structure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Naming of the building===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The complex was named for William D. Mullins, a former state representative and sports enthusiast. | ||
