The San Antonio Spurs have always been more than a basketball team. Now, they’re taking that legacy off the court and into a new chapter with the Spurs Impact Center, a reimagining of their former practice facility set to open later in the fall of 2025.

The move marks a strategic evolution for the organization, expanding the building’s original purpose from an elite sports training center to a broad-based community resource. The Spurs are among the first NBA teams to repurpose their practice facility into a community-dedicated space.

Through Spurs Give, the franchise’s nonprofit arm, Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) has raised an initial $10 million investment to launch renovations. SS&E — the parent company behind the San Antonio Spurs (NBA), Austin Spurs (NBA G League), and San Antonio FC (USL) — also operates several premier venues across South Texas, including the Frost Bank Center, The Rock at La Cantera, Toyota Field, and the Ricos STAR Soccer Complex.

The Impact Center originally opened in 2002 as one of the NBA’s first dedicated practice facilities. When fully realized, the reimagined space will host a range of accessible programming — from workforce-readiness training and mental health and wellness support to leadership development for educators, coaches, and nonprofit leaders. It will also feature multi-generational family programs, arts and music workshops, and STEM education opportunities, all aimed at creating community growth and connection.

“As one of the first in the league, this facility was born from a spirit of innovation and progress, and it’s only fitting that its next chapter continues that legacy through community and leadership,” said Patricia Mejia, SS&E’s chief impact and inclusion officer, in a press release. “Through intentional investment in community engagement and collaboration, the Spurs Impact Center will catalyze inclusive efforts and cultivate service-driven leaders — allowing us to turn culture into change and create a stronger future for San Antonio.”

Before launching construction, SS&E hosted a series of community vision sessions to gather direct input from local organizations and residents. Even amid renovations, the center has already started making an impact, hosting more than 20 local educators through the Spurs Community Leadership Institute, along with nonprofit retreats, youth sports camps, and a Leaders & Legacies panel on kidney transplant awareness featuring Spurs legend Sean Elliott.

While the project will continue to evolve to meet shifting community needs, the first phase of the Impact Center’s transformation is expected to wrap before the end of 2025.
