McARTHUR COURT, a large concrete basketball pavilion seating 7,000 was erected in 1926. Offices of the Associated Students and of athletic coaches are in the building. It was named for C. N. McArthur, former Congressman from Oregon and graduate of the class of 1901. The Physical Education Building (1936) is an addition to McArthur Court.

McArthur Court was replaced by Matthew Knight Arena, a multi-use complex, in 2011 for college sporting events. McArthur Court has a longstanding tradition on the U of O campus, having been a venue for numerous sporting events and music concerts over the years and was even featured in a scene from the movie Animal House.
