The Northrop Auditorium History and Northrop Events

The Northrop Auditorium is a classy intimate venue to see a good show. The limited number of seats in the Northrop Memorial Auditorium make tickets to music headliners a much sought after commodity.

Donations by University students, faculty/staff, alumni and friends funded the $1.35 million construction of the Northrop Auditorium. The auditorium was built to be used as the University's central ceremonial site with commencements, lectures, convocations, and performances. The Northrop was built with 4,800 seats, this capacity allowing the entire student body of that day to be assembled under one roof.

Upcoming events at the Northrop include:  Brahms/Haydn Variations, Quest for the World's Best Baskets, Haley Bonar, Adam Meckler Orchestra, Salsa del Soul, and Allison Scott.
