It was built in 1981 and is home to the Radford University Highlanders basketball team. The Center is named after Dr. Donald Dedmon, a former Radford university president. It was the tenth air-supported roof built in the United States. The air-supported roof was removed during a major renovation in April 2008 and replaced with steel truss supported roof.
The Dedmon Center reopened on January 21, 2009, with a new lights system, sound system, and a new basketball floor. The venue hosted the final of the 2009 Big South Conference men's basketball tournament.External links
