The Enrique M. Razon Sports Center (Building code E; also called Sports Complex, Sports Center, or Sports Building) of De La Salle University-Manila is a ten-storey neoclassical building that was built in 1998 to replace the old Br. Athanasius Gym that was demolished in 2000 to give way for the construction of the Yuchengco Hall. The Sports Complex stands on a 3,155 square meter lot located at the corner of Agno and Noli streets.

The building was originally known as the Br. Athanasius Sports Complex, named after Br. Lucian Athanasius, a past president of De La Salle. In January of 2003, DLSU-Manila received a P50 million donation from its alumnus Enrique Razon, Jr. for sports development, which included funds for scholarships and improvement of physical facilities. From the total amount, P25 million was used to fully equip and air-condition the 9th floor gymnasium of the PE and Sports Complex, P20 million was allotted for athletic scholarships, and P5 million was used for a sports solidarity fund. The building was renamed in February 2003 as the Enrique M. Razon Sports Center after the late father of Razon who was an athlete of La Salle.
