Foellinger Auditorium, Classical auditorium at University of Illinois, Urbana, United States
The brick and limestone auditorium features a copper dome, granite foundation, and circular design spanning 120 feet in diameter on the campus south quadrangle.
Architect Clarence Blackall completed this Beaux-Arts style building in 1907, though budget constraints reduced the original seating capacity from 2500 to 1361 seats.
The venue has welcomed performers including Duke Ellington, Igor Stravinsky, and Marian Anderson, along with speakers such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Bill Gates.
Students attend classes during daytime hours while the evenings accommodate university events, performances, lectures, and community gatherings in the restored space.
The semicircular forecourt produces distinct sound effects when someone speaks from its center point, creating an acoustic phenomenon for visitors.
