McIntire Amphitheatre, Greek-style amphitheatre at University of Virginia, United States.
The McIntire Amphitheatre features ascending concrete seating for 1,500 people surrounding a semi-circular grass area with a 60-foot-high performance stage.
Local philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire donated $120,000 to construct this outdoor theatre in 1921, designed by architect Fiske Kimball of the University's Architectural School.
The amphitheatre hosts student fundraising activities, performances, festivals, ROTC drills, alumni gatherings, and graduation ceremonies throughout the academic year.
The venue underwent conservation treatments in 2014, including concrete cleaning, crack repairs, and installation of new cast stone elements to maintain its structural integrity.
The facility originally contained an outdoor organ designed by M.P. Möller that produced sound audible from one mile away until its removal in the 1980s.
