Charles R. Lackey Gymnasium

Since opening its doors, Charles R. Lackey Gymnasium has served as a foundational athletics facility for Mississippi Valley State, adapting to the university’s evolving competitive needs while remaining a constant presence on campus.

Venue Usage History

  • Men’s Basketball: 1961–1976

  • Women’s Basketball: 1976

  • Basketball Practice Facility: 1977–Present

  • Volleyball (Primary Venue): 1994–2004; 2013–2015

Lackey Gymnasium reflects a traditional model of shared-use collegiate facilities—built first to anchor a growing basketball program, then thoughtfully repurposed over time to support practice needs and Olympic sports. Its continued role underscores Mississippi Valley State’s commitment to maximizing legacy infrastructure while meeting modern program demands.
