Made possible through a sponsorship with HBCU League Pass Plus and a donation from Urban Edge Network, Stillman College said the natural-wood maple court is emblazoned with a 15-foot-wide stained tiger positioned at center court, coupled with an interlocking “SC.”

School officials expressed their excitement for a fresh new look for the court after more than a decade.

“We are excited to reveal this project, which is the first of hopefully many upgrades to our athletics facilities," Stillman College Athletic Director Terrance Whittle said in a press release on Thursday. "Our basketball players were presented the opportunity to vote on and choose the design for this upgrade before the academic year ended, and we hope the Stillman community will enjoy this new look and will come see it in person this fall.”

Work began on the project on mid-May, with the new surface installed by Pelham-based Alabama Gym Floors. The design was brainchild of Stillman College’s Director of Brand Identity Natorio Howard.
