The Samuel M. Thomas Assembly Center is an 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Ruston, Louisiana.

[1] The arena, named for its benefactor and businessman Samuel M. Thomas, is home to the Division I NCAA Louisiana Tech University Bulldogs (men) and Lady Techsters (women) basketball teams.

The arena opened in November 1982 just west of Joe Aillet Stadium, and replaced the then-30-year-old Memorial Gymnasium on the corner of Tech Drive and Railroad Avenue.

The TAC also serves as the home of the Louisiana Tech Women's Volleyball team since the program's inception in 1987.

Brown, Randy White and Paul Millsap have called the Samuel Thomas Assembly Center home during their collegiate careers.
