WISDOM GYM

Wisdom Gymnasium is located on the northwest corner of the campus, adjacent to Memorial Stadium, serving as home for both the Tarleton men’s and women’s basketball teams.

The gymnasium, named for long-time Tarleton athletics director and coach W.J. Wisdom, was built in 1970 at a cost of $1.3 million. A $1.7 million expansion project was completed in 1977. The total complex covers 114,343 square feet of floor space.

Wisdom Gymnasium features an upper and lower level seating arrangement to accommodate 3,000 spectators. Powered retractable bleachers are used on both sides of the upper and lower seating levels to allow additional floor space when seating is not needed. Seating on the lower south side has chair backs, installed in 1999. A four-way viewing scoreboard, installed in 1987 and upgraded in 1996, is located above and in the center of the basketball court with four public address speakers mounted on top. Shot clocks are located on the north and south walls.

Wisdom Gym is easily accessible, being located just north of Business 377 (West Washington) and in between Lillian Street and Harbin Drive.
