The Jenny Craig Pavilion was constructed with the university's architectural theme of the 16th century Spanish Renaissance.

In 2015, the arena received various upgrades, including a redesigned floor, new video boards, and LED sideline tables from Daktronics.

On August 5, 2024, the university announced that Baker Solar and Electric had bought the naming rights to the floor of the arena.

The arena also hosted the official Super Bowl XXXVII Luncheon, 2004 Judo National Championships, and the 2004 and 2013 first and second rounds of the NCAA women's volleyball tournament.

The arena also has hosted commencement exercises and special events, including music concerts featuring Maroon 5, and guest speakers from the 14th Dalai Lama and Jane Goodall.
