This article is about the Canadian sports complex. For the French band, see Pep's.

The Pavillon de l'éducation physique et des sports de l'Université Laval ("Laval University Sports and Physical Education Pavilion"), usually called PEPS for short, is a sports complex located in Quebec City, Quebec, on the campus of the Université Laval. Opened in 1971, PEPS features an outdoor stadium, an indoor stadium, indoor swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts, a fitness centre, and two ice hockey arenas that can be combined into one to host long track speed skating.

The main arena seats 2,000 and was home to the re-born Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League between 1997 and 1999, when they moved back to their traditional home, the Colisée Pepsi.

Since 2004, PEPS has been the home of the WTA Tour's Bell Challenge. In 2009 PEPS became home to the Quebec Kebs basketball franchise of the Premier Basketball League.

A major expansion of the complex will take place in 2010-2011: among others, an indoor olympic size swimming pool, a 3,000 seats gymnasium and a covered soccer stadium will be added to the already existing facilities.The outdoor stadium will also be improved.
