The James D. Westcott Building is a historic building on the campus of The Florida State University in Tallahassee, in the U.S. state of Florida.

On the plaza you can see many different commemorative bricks completely around it which was a gifted project done by the classes of 1996 and 1997. They were finally put in place in 1998 after getting donations from other classes, alumni, teachers, and faculty. The various names, dates, and events that happen involving the University and its students continue to be placed on to these commemorative bricks. Built in 1910, the Westcott building was named after James Diament Westcott, Jr. who was an early contributor to Florida State University; his estate was valued at $100,000.
