INDIANA, Pa. — Indiana University of Pennsylvania is set to cut the ribbon today on a new $79 million, 5,000-seat athletic arena and convention complex.

Doors to the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex will open this afternoon, after which people will be able to tour the new building.

It is named for a family that donated $2 million to the project.

The center includes an athletic arena for basketball and other sports, a 650-seat auditorium, conference space and other offices.

University officials expect the venue to host 140 events a year.

A March 10 appearance by the Harlem Globetrotters is the first ticketed event.
