The HTC Center: The home for Chanticleer men's and women's basketball and volleyball.
Coastal Carolina University opened its Student Recreation and Convocation Center - The HTC Center - in August 2012. The $35 million facility provides more than 131,000 square feet of space that is the home of Chanticleer men's and women's basketball, and volleyball, as well as the university's student recreation center. The HTC Center accommodates more than 3,600 fans for athletic events and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a Daktronics videoboard system.
The facility provides locker rooms for men's and women's basketball, volleyball, coaches and referees; coaches' offices and team meeting rooms; media/press areas; two hospitality suites and three food concession areas. The campus bookstore - the Chanticleer Store - is also located in The HTC Center.
The venue hosted the VisitMyrtleBeach.com Big South Men's and Women's Basketball Championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015, and has hosted the Myrtle Beach Invitational each November since 2019.
The recreation portion of The HTC Center includes a 1/9-mile indoor track, multiple aerobic and fitness studios, strength and conditioning equipment, and a 38-foot climbing wall. Students are also able to check out kayaks, camping equipment, bicycles, paddle boards and fishing equipment.
Plans for a student recreation center began in 2008 following a resolution presented by the University's Student Government Association to the Board of Trustees recommending the need for a new facility. Acting on this student-led recommendation, the Board of Trustees passed a student-approved fee increase to support construction funding. The groundbreaking for the facility was held April 15, 2010.
