MIT Kresge Auditorium

Designed by renowned architect Eero Saarinen, Kresge Auditorium was dedicated in 1955 to serve as “the meeting house of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.” Kresge serves as a well known example of thin shell concrete structure, drawing visitors from around the world. The interior of Kresge houses a 1,200-seat performance hall, 200-seat theatre, as well as rehearsal rooms and dressing rooms. These spaces serve as the primary performance facilities for MIT Music and Theatre Arts productions as well as work by a number of student organizations.
