The Auditorium, room A106

Designed and built in the 1930s by legendary architect Joseph Urban, the Auditorium is an impressive 468-seat venue with a proscenium-style stage. It was named one of the world's most powerful rooms by ABC News in 2014, thanks to the incredible roster of public figures and leaders who have spoken there. Adjacent to the Auditorium is a small green room and the main lobby, which is often used for event check-in. It has a piano, a small balcony, and an LCD projector and screen. The Auditorium is located in Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall, at 66 West 12th Street.
