Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion
Located along the banks of the Brazos River on the west side of Interstate 35, the Paul & Alejandra Foster Pavilion is designed to elevate our home court advantage. The new facility will become home to Baylor’s championship men's and women's basketball teams. By creating a more engaged and energized atmosphere, the Foster Pavilion will enhance the experiences of our fans.
This innovative project will spark a transformation of Baylor's presence on the riverfront of University Parks Drive. Just across the interstate from the new Mark & Paula Hurd Family Welcome Center, this transformative building will bolster the campus landscape.
Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion
At a capacity of 7,000+, fans will feel closer to the action and make a dynamic impact on the competition. Fans will be welcomed by an energetic atmosphere, cultivated by both the Baylor and Waco communities.
Project Renderings
As a stop on the Riverwalk, the pavilion will be woven into the established traditions of the Waco Community. Our fans can enjoy time at local businesses before taking in a game.
