University of Michigan's Hill Auditorium
Hill Auditorium is the largest performance venue on the
University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus. The auditorium was named in honor
of Arthur Hill (1847-1909), who served as a regent of the university from
1901 to 1909. He bequeathed $200,000 to the university for the
construction of a venue for lectures, musical performances, and other
large productions. Opened in 1913, the auditorium was designed by
Albert Kahn and Associates. It was recently renovated by the same firm
beginning in 2002 and was re-opened in 2004. With seating for up to
3,538 (originally 4,100 prior to the 2004 renovation) audience members,
Hill is one of the most popular venues for large productions on campus.
