About NJIT Wellness and Events Center

The NJIT Wellness and Events Center in Newark is a 220,000‑square‑foot multipurpose venue built to host sports, conferences, and large campus gatherings. Opened in 2017 and renamed on Oct 6, 2023, the center features a dedicated basketball arena, a pool, indoor turf, a fitness center, lounges, and multiple event spaces. Whether you’re here for a Highlanders basketball or volleyball game, a career fair, or a major campus event, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan your trip.

Here you’ll find seating information, parking and transit options, nearby hotels and dining, plus insider tips to make your visit smooth and straightforward.

From the arena floor to the event spaces, the NJIT Wellness and Events Center offers flexible setup options and a central Newark location. For attendees driving in, use the Summit Street Parking Deck at 154 Summit Street or the Science & Technology Parking Deck at 42 Wilsey Street. Transit access is convenient via the Warren Street NJIT light‑rail station, with a direct corridor to the campus quad and access points on Lock and Warren Streets.
