Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre

1956 Olympic Games Known originally as the Swimming and Diving Stadium, it was built as an indoor aquatic centre for diving, swimming, water polo, and the swimming part of the modern pentathlon events for the 1956 Summer Olympics. It was the first fully indoor Olympic swimming venue in an Olympic Games and is the only major stadium structure from the 1956 Olympic Games with the facade intact. The design of this building was the winner of one of three international competitions held in 1952 to provide stadia for the 1956 Olympic Games. They won their second and last title in 1994 when they defeated the Adelaide 36ers, again 2–0 in the best of three series. The Glass House also hosted the NBL All-Star Game in 1988, 1989, 1991. Collingwood Football Club Collingwood Football Club moved its administrative and training facilities from Victoria Park to the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre in 2004. The Collingwood Football Club also used Olympic Park Stadium being adjacent to the centre as its outdoor training facility from 2004 until 2012, when it was demolished. After this occurred, Collingwood Football Club moved its outdoor training ground to the newly developed Olympic Park Oval that replaced the space of the stadium after demolition. ==Sponsorship and naming rights arrangements==

The luxury vehicle manufacturer Lexus bought the naming rights to the venue in 2004; as the Lexus Centre, it no longer served as a public stadium, instead being used by the Victorian Institute of Sport and the Collingwood Football Club as a sports administration and training facility. In March, 2010, Collingwood announced that Westpac bank was the new naming rights sponsor of the centre. On 19 August 2015, Holden signed a multimillion-dollar three-year deal to become a Premier Partner of Collingwood and holder of the naming rights to the club's headquarters at Olympic Park, now known as the Holden Centre. In March 2022, American International Assurance Company (Australia) (known as AIA) was announced as the new naming rights partner. The centre was thus renamed the AIA Centre. The arrangement lasted until October 2025, when the venue was renamed the KGM Centre in recognition of the club's new sponsorship agreement with Korean automaker KG Mobility. == Awards and recognition==

The Swimming and Diving Stadium received an Engineering Heritage International Marker from Engineers Australia as part of its Engineering Heritage Recognition Program. In 2021 the Australian Institute of Architects gave the project the Victoria Chapter's Maggie Edmond Enduring Architecture Award and later awarded the National Award for Enduring Architecture in the same year. ==References==
