Amphitheatre

The Rackham Amphitheatre, located on the fourth floor of the Rackham Building, features a full projection booth, 2 permanent projection screens (one large enough for side by side projection), a portable lectern which may be placed in 3 different locations, and a presentation area that can accommodate panels of up to 10 members. The room is steeply graded for maximum viewing and the sightlines are excellent from anywhere in the room. The Amphitheatre is used primarily for major conferences and guest lecturers. It is an excellent space for panel discussions as well.

Room use rates are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
