The '''Charles E. Smith Center''' is a 5,000-seat multipurpose [[arena]] in [[Washington, D.C.]] Opened on November 17, 1975,<ref name="Opening">{{cite web|url=https://issuu.com/jhooker/docs/2009-10_gw_mbb_media_guide|title=2009-10 GW Basketball Media Guide|page=102|publisher=The George Washington University|date=2009|access-date=September 17, 2020}}</ref> it is home to the [[George Washington Revolutionaries]] men's and women's [[basketball]] teams, as well as the university's swimming, [[water polo]], [[gymnastics]], and [[volleyball]] teams. From 2014 to 2018, it was the home of the [[Washington Kastles]] of [[World TeamTennis]]. Smith Center also became the temporary home of the [[Washington Mystics]] as they made a run at a [[WNBA]] Championship in 2018. Smith Center is located on the main George Washington campus in [[Foggy Bottom]], on the block bounded by 22nd and 23rd and F and G Streets NW. The arena also has hosted concerts and includes practice courts, a swimming pool, a weight room, and athletic department offices.

The building was named for [[Charles E. Smith (developer)|Charles E. Smith]], who was a university trustee and chairman of the Committee on University Development.

A $43 million update and expansion of the Smith Center began in February 2008, due in part to a $10 million gift from the family of Charles E. Smith.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alumni.gwu.edu/news/2008_04/university/smith.html|title=Colonial Cable April 2008|access-date=2010-02-17|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110522014243/http://alumni.gwu.edu/news/2008_04/university/smith.html|archive-date=2011-05-22}}</ref> Renovations were finished before the start of the 2010-2011 Basketball season.

On September 11, 2018, the Smith Center's Jumbotron collapsed onto the court below while undergoing maintenance. No one was injured in the incident, possibly due to the Jumbotron's already-lowered position before the fall.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Jumbotron-Crashes-Onto-Basketball-Court-at-George-Washington-University-492989531.html|title = Jumbotron Crashes Onto Basketball Court at George Washington University}}</ref>
