The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga once again showed its strong commitment to its student-athletes, teams and the local community with the completion of the $3.2 million Brenda Lawson Student-Athlete Success Center. The Lawson Center, located on Vine Street just south of the Boling Apartments on campus, consists of the Chattem Basketball Practice Facility for both men's and women's basketball and the Wolford Family Strength and Conditioning Facility which is utilized by all UTC student-athletes.

This facility is one of the finest in the country and is a source of pride for the entire athletics department.  Its central location on campus makes it very convenient for student-athletes to meet and workout any time of day.  The uniqueness of the facility also makes it a very versatile workplace that benefits the entire athletics program at UTC.

The Chattem Basketball Practice Facility is housed within the Lawson Center and provides both the men's and women's basketball programs with a consistent practice presence throughout the year.  The Chattem Facility contains a full practice court that is an exact design of the Mocs' main court in McKenzie Arena.  Also included in the practice facility are four additional practice goals, making it an ideal space to prepare for championships. 

The Wolford Family Strength and Conditioning Center is utilized by all student-athletes at UTC.  It houses state-of-the-art strength and conditioning equipment and UTC's student-athlete nutrition center.  Nearly $500,000 was spent on the space in 2022 to bring it up-to-date with the best equipment and flooring available in the industry.    

The Lawson Center is the cornerstone of the Mocs' claim of having some of the best athletic facilities in the nation.
