First opened in 1926, Lavietes Pavilion stands as the second-oldest building used for basketball among Division I schools.

Originally, the Briggs Center (Lavietes Pavilion) housed Harvard's indoor track teams. It featured a second-floor running track preferred by many of the greats of the day and also served as a favorite batting cage for Crimson baseball players and even major leaguers like Boston Red Sox great Ted Williams. Briggs quickly became an important part of Harvard's entire athletic program, as other sports used the building as an off-season training center.

The construction of the Gordon Track and Tennis Center in 1981 meant that the indoor track squads would be moving to their own facility, making Briggs a prime location for the new home of the school's basketball teams. Until that time, basketball was played at the Indoor Athletic Building - now the Malkin Athletic Center - on the Cambridge side of the river.
