Arthur Acker served as coach and chair of the Department of Physical Education at Chico State College from 1923 to 1961. Except for wrestling and skiing, he coached every sport offered by Chico State. Acker developed Chico State sports into a program with direction and also initiated the Wildcat mascot. He pressed for a new building to replace the small 1927 gym.
As a result, Acker Gymnasium was completed in 1961. The Arthur L. Acker Gymnasium totals nearly 77,000 square feet and includes basketball courts, swimming pools, weight training rooms, a dance studio, locker rooms, offices and classrooms. The building was designed using a state architect, and the general contractor was Gordon H. Ball of Concord, California. At a cost of $1.7 million, Acker Gym was built to expand the men's facilities from Shurmer Gymnasium. Acker gym started out as the men's facility and by the 1970s was used as a coed gym. Source CSUC.
