St. Elizabeth Healthcare invested $8 million to construct and equip the two-story Simulation Center. In 2008, we opened the BB&T Arena, a $60 million, 9,400-seat arena for basketball games and other events, as well as our $37 million, 144,000-square-foot student union building. The 2016-17 academic year marked the first season NKU was eligible for participation in NCAA Championships after reclassifying to Division I.
