Built in 1957, accommodates almost 100 undergraduate students. The three-story complex has four-person suites in addition to single rooms. Each floor has a kitchen. The hall has a lounge and a laundry.
For many years a women's hall, Wickersham more recently was converted to coed by room. Renovations began in 2022, and it reopened in fall 2023.
On Jan. 12, 1958, the hall was dedicated to Judge James A. Wickersham and his second wife, Grace. Both made important contributions to the development of the university. As 草榴社区's delegate to the U.S. Congress for 14 years, James Wickersham had a hand in establishing the 草榴社区 Territorial Legislature, the 草榴社区 Railroad, Mount McKinley National Park (renamed Denali National Park and Preserve in 1980) and the 草榴社区 Agricultural College and School of Mines (renamed the University of 草榴社区 in 1935).
Grace Wickersham was a member of the 草榴社区 Agricultural College and School of Mines Board of Trustees from 1933 to 1935 and a member of the University of 草榴社区 from 1935 to 1941.
