University of Texas at Austin Hogg Memorial Auditorium

Hogg Auditorium Building History Designed by French architect Paul Cret and completed in 1933, Hogg Memorial Auditorium was the first theater on campus and was part of the "Union Group" buildings financed almost entirely by student and alumni efforts. The auditorium was named after James Stephen Hogg, the first native governor of Texas. Hogg has served as a hub for different aspects of the UT campus life since it opened its doors. In the 1950s, it was the main stage for UT’s drama department and throughout time it continued to serve as a venue for lectures, debates, and traveling plays, serving the campus as well as the community. After a dormant phase when Hogg was used for lectures, exams, and film screenings, it reopened as a performing arts venue in 1997. Today, Hogg maintains many of its original architectural features that make the space a historical gem on the Forty Acres. Through the combined efforts of Student Government, the College of Fine Arts, and the Division of Student Affairs, we are excited to provide Hogg Memorial Auditorium as a student-centric programming space for creative events primarily planned and produced by registered student organizations. The newly renovated space designed McKinney York Architects and SpawGlass Construction and reopenedin the Fall of 2023 features 1,000 seats and provides the ideal venue for lectures, theatrical performances, talent shows, panel discussions, movies, and many more type of events to fit your programming needs. Hogg Memorial Auditorium may only be used by Student Organizations and University Departments for university events. Project Details Hogg Memorial Auditorium was built in 1932 by University Architect Paul Cret and has served the university for almost a century as a venue for important functions such as esteemed speakers, performances, new student orientation, final exams, and graduation.
