Sojka Pavilion is a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. It was built in 2003 [1] and is home to the Bucknell University Bison basketball team. It is named for Dr. Gary Allan Sojka, a former president of the university who remained at the university after the end of his term as a professor of biology, until his retirement in 2006.
In 2011 Sojka Pavilion hosted Patriot League Men's Basketball Tournament Championship final game after previously doing so in 2006.
