The University of North Florida Arena completed in January 1993, is located on-campus on the Southside of Jacksonville, approximately 12 miles from the beaches. 

The $9.2 million, 5,800 – seat teaching gymnasium serves as site for graduation each semester, various concerts, campus, intramural programs, basketball tournaments and UNF Osprey varsity basketball and volleyball games. 

During a ten year period the Orlando Magic held their week long pre-season training camp and open scrimmage in the UNF Arena. 

The UNF Arena houses the offices of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation & Intramural Sports.

The Arena is accessible by a covered walkway from the four-tier parking garage located across the street. 

The courtyard outside the Arena features inscribed bricks and the Osprey Fountain, unveiled at the 1994 Spring graduation.  The Arena is open for everyday use by students, faculty, staff and alumni with a valid ID
