A physical education building with basketball court and spectator seating galleries named in honor of William G. Wilcox who had been Superintendent of the City Public Schools of New York City and Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Tuskegee Institute. Wilcox’s widow made the first large contribution toward the total of $9,000 President Hubert raised for the constructing of this $45,312 facility.
When Wilcox Gymnasium was completed in 1936, it was the best inside basketball facility located at a black college in Georgia. President Hubert saw this facility as an excellent recruiting device for the College. He was instrumental in organizing a state high school basketball tour
