Hutchinson Gymnasium, originally named after Sydney Hutchinson, a former University trustee and athlete, has been transformed into the Tse Ping – Cheng Cheung Ling Sports Center in 2013. This state-of-the-art facility now houses various athletic programs including Penn Basketball, David Pottruck Wrestling Facility, Fencing, Golf, Gymnastics, and Rowing.
