We have confirmation that the previous Ozpin was a prodigy  and the youngest Headmaster, and that the spirit inside helped build the schools, but not that it was his idea specifically to build the school, which belonged to the King of Vale.

I mean, it's highly likely, but I don't think we have direct confirmation yet.

We do have confirmation that he was the Wizard though, yes. Indirect confirmation. In the World of Remnant on the Great War:

''Territories were redistributed, slavery was abolished, governments were restructured, and the Warrior King, the last king Vale would ever have, founded the Huntsman Academiesand placed his most trusted followers in command of each kingdom's school. He would teach the world to fight, so long as we promised to fight  for  ourselves and never  against  ourselves.''

From  Punished  when Ozpin was talking to Oscar:

Ozpin : Because I helped build that school, and the tea set was a gift to the man running it now.

From  A Much Needed Talk  when Qrow was giving a massive info dump:

When Ozpin's predecessor founded the schools, he built them around the Relics to act as a fortress. Not only would they be easier to defend, but they would constantly be surrounded by trained warriors. The hope was that hiding them would keep mankind from using them against itself... and, of course, keeping them out of  her  reach.

The idea being Ozpin claims he helped build them, despite them being built 80 years before he was headmaster and Qrow saying it was the King who built them.
