Lathrop Hall, Historic university gymnasium in Madison, United States
Lathrop Hall features sandstone construction with Renaissance Revival design elements, including a prominent running track, swimming pool, and dedicated theater space.
Built in 1908 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the building marks the founding site of the Athletic Conference of American College Women.
The building established its place in dance education by introducing the first university dance major program in the United States during 1926.
Located at 1050 University Avenue, the structure contains multiple facilities including classrooms, performance spaces, and specialized studios for dance education.
The gymnasium transformed from a women-only athletic facility to the current home of the University of Wisconsin-Madison dance department.
