About the UNCG Auditorium

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Auditorium, originally called the Aycock Auditorium, was completed in 1927 and has been a central hub for cultural and artistic events on campus for nearly a century. Designed by the prominent architect Harry Barton, it features a blend of Neoclassical and Beaux-Arts architectural styles, emphasizing elegance and grandeur.

Initially named after former North Carolina Governor Charles B. Aycock, the building was renamed in 2016 to reflect the university’s commitment to inclusivity. Today, the UNCG Auditorium hosts a variety of performances, including concerts, lectures, and theatrical productions, serving as a venue for both university and community events. Its rich history and striking design continue to make it a landmark on the UNCG campus.

UNCG Auditorium is a 1,600 seat proscenium-style theatre. Originally opened in 1927 with seating for 2,288.

In 2008, UNCG Auditorium underwent a $19 million dollar renovation. In 2010 the auditorium re-opened with less seating, but improved acoustics, more leg room for patrons, and a double-lift orchestra pit.

Since 2010, UNCG Auditorium has been the official home of the University Concert and Lecture Series, however previous incarnations of the series have hosted events in UNCG Auditorium since its original opening.
