The Quadricentennial Pavilion (originally UST Sports Complex) is a 5,792-seat gymnasium of the University of Santo Tomas (UST). The name has been decided by the Council of Regents on October 18, 2011.[1] It began its construction in July 29, 2008 after the Vatican gave its "blessing" to the project. UST is a pontifical university, directly under the supervision of the Holy See.[2] The Quadricentennial Pavilion is one of the building construction projects of the University for its celebration of 400th year of foundation in 2011.[3] This is done to replace the old UST Gymnasium to give way for the Thomasian Alumni Center. The pavilion is located at the old Engineering Complex, in front of the Roque Ruaño Building.
