context_page_description: Daskalakis Athletic Center is a 300,000 square feet athletic and recreational facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
  The facility is best known for its 2,509-seat multi-purpose arena that is home to multiple Drexel University Dragons sports teams including basketball and wrestling. While the entire recreation center, including the multi-purpose arena, gym, natatorium, rock climbling wall, and squash canter are located in the athletic center, the "DAC" generally refers solely to the multi-purpose arena.
  In January 2005, the basketball court was named Cozen Court after being dedicated to former Drexel men's basketball head coach Sam Cozen.
  At the 2006 convocation Drexel University president Constantine Papadakis announced a 60,000-square-foot, three-story addition to the existing Daskalakis Athletic Center. The project, which expanded to an 84,000-square-foot addition, broke ground in June 2008. Construction finished in December 2009 and parts of the building opened to students in January 2010. The Drexel Recreational Center officially opened in February 2010.
