Renovated several times since its opening, Barnhill Arena officially closed its doors as one of the most feared basketball facilities in the country March 3, 1993. It was then re-configured into the largest volleyball-only arena in time for the inaugural season in 1994. Barnhill underwent a renovation of its playing surface to convert the then 19-year-old hardwood floor to a volleyball configuration. Prior to the 2020 season, the floor was re-sanded and re-branded, adding a new "State of Arkansas" graphic to center court.
During the 2022 season, a Taraflex court was installed, regarded as the premier choice in indoor sports flooring for its protection and comfort, durability, and sustainability. The volleyball team practices and plays at Barnhill Arena, a base for student-athletes to call home at all times.
