Woollen Gymnasium was the home of the University of North Carolina's physical education classes from 1937 and the North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball from early 1938. The Gymnasium was named after Charles T. Woollen, Class of 1905. [UNC EIS, Alias & Notes 1937 - Woollen Bio.] The Tar Heels played there until Carmichael Auditorium was built in 1965 as an annex which shares the Gymnasium's western wall. North Carolina won the 1957 national championship while playing there. [Powell, pp. 45-60.]

The Gymnasium is still in use today, hosting classes and intramural events, as well as providing room for the Roy Williams Basketball Camp in the summer.fact|date=September 2008 The old section numbers and ticket windows are still visible.fact|date=September 2008
