The Amica Mutual Pavilion opened on November 3, 1972. Since then, more than seven million fans have passed through its turnstiles to watch Providence College men's basketball. Formally known as the Providence Civic Center (1972-01) and the Dunkin’ Donuts Center (2001-22), the building gained its corporate sponsorship in 2001 and became affectionately known as “The Dunk." In 2022, Amica Mutual Insurance Company purchased the naming rights, and the building was referred to as “The AMP.”
 
Providence College has hosted NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games on multiple occasions, and the AMP is next slated as a host site in 2025. The Friars have also competed in the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament at the Dunk on several occasions. 
 
In 2008, the building underwent an $80 million renovation, which enhanced almost every aspect of the arena. The summer of 2022 saw the beginning of what will be a multi-million dollar, multi-year investment in building improvements, starting with a completely renovated Friars’ locker room, a new basketball court, and seating bowl upgrades, as well as other areas of the arena. These enhancements ensured the Friars would continue to play in a top-notch basketball arena for years to come.
