The Santa Clara University men’s and women’s basketball, and volleyball teams play their contests in Leavey Center, one of the finest sports venues of its size on the West Coast. The intimate facility has hosted nine West Coast Conference Basketball Championships, most recently in March 2005. Leavey Center, which had a one-of-a-kind floor installed in the summer of 2016, is named after the late founder of Farmers Insurance, Thomas E. Leavey, who graduated from Santa Clara in 1922.
