Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, in collaboration with Lucinda Loya Interiors, the 160,000-square-foot building[1] is part of a larger mixed-use development being constructed by New Balance at Boston Landing that includes the headquarters of New Balance and that will also include shops, a hotel and the practice facility of the Boston Bruins directly next door.

[2] Named for the Celtics former president, general manager, and head coach Arnold "Red" Auerbach, the basketball practice facility is spread across the top two floors of The Auerbach Center and will include two parquet floor basketball courts.

[3] A 40-foot glass wall at The Auerbach Center facing the adjacent Massachusetts Turnpike allows visibility of the Celtics’ basketball practice facility.

Groundbreaking took place in December 2014, with the completed facility hosting its grand opening on September 8, 2016.

[4][5][6] The Celtics' fellow tenants at the TD Garden when both are in their respective wintertime league seasons, the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, have their own practice facility at Warrior Ice Arena, just east of the Auerbach Center, at 80 Guest Street.
