Elmen Center
The Elmen Center was completed in 1989. Previously, Augustana basketball games were held at the Sioux Falls Arena. In 2000, the Elmen Center was the location of the NCAA Division II Elite 8 volleyball tournament.
In addition to sports, the building can be used as a venue for concerts.
On October 15, 2009, a fire broke out in the building after an object was left on hot equipment in the sauna. The fire resulted in the building's evacuation and about $25,000 in damage.
In 2014 Augustana University agreed to a new deal which moved Men's and Women's doubleheaders into the Sioux Falls Arena, The Elmen Center now only hosts single basketball games, along with volleyball and wrestling matches.
