Originally built in 1938 as the 4-H Club and Student Activities Building, the name of the building was later changed to Gallagher Hall to honor Ed Gallagher, a wrestling coach at the university, before later being named the Gallagher-Iba Arena in 1987 to also honor Henry Iba, an innovator and longtime basketball coach. The first basketball game to be played in the arena took place on December 9th of 1938.
