It will not take you long to become attached to the blend of contemporary and historic architecture on our campus. As you are guided through our campus, you will be mesmerized by buildings that were built by students such as Tompkins Hall, White Hall, the Old Administration Building, and William G. Wilcox Halls A-E.
Also, you may visit our luxurious Kellogg Conference Center, one of only 12 in the United States and England. The University Chapel, the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care, and the General Daniel “Chappie” James Center and Memorial Museum are all examples of modern, majestic architecture.
The messages imparted through the “Singing Glass Windows” in our Chapel and a stop at the celebrated Booker T. Washington Monument will be enriching experiences.
Make certain your University Escort takes you to the General Daniel “Chappie” James Memorial Museum. There you will see memorabilia of the late General Daniel “Chappie” James, the nation’s first African American Four Star General and a graduate of Tuskegee University. “Black Wings,” once a traveling show developed by the Smithsonian, is also on exhibit in the James Memorial Museum. The exhibit honors the unprecedented achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen.
Thank you for your interest in Tuskegee University and we look forward to your visit with us!
