The $12 million Merritt Truax Indoor Center was completed in August of 2001. The facility is primarily used by the football program, as the building contains a regulation sized FieldTurf field. However, nearly all of the other intercollegiate programs sponsored by OSU utilize the spacious structure.

\r\n\r\n

The facility covers 85,000 square feet, measures 400 feet in length and 192 feet wide. There is 55 feet in clearance at midfield and 30 feet on the sidelines.

\r\n\r\n

The Truax Center is also home to pregame functions, awards banquets and other special events.

The building is named after the late Merritt Truax, a 1934 Oregon State graduate and founder of the successful Merritt Truax Oil Company.
