The Hogg Memorial Auditorium (HMA) is located in the heart of the UT Austin campus within the original 40 acres. It was designed by University Architect Paul Cret and built in 1932 as the first theatre on campus. The building has approximately 25,000 gross square feet and features 1,150 seats. Throughout the decades, HMA has served as a hub for different aspects of campus life. When it opened its doors in 1933, the inaugural event was a lecture by poet Robert Frost. In the 1950’s, 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 HMA was used for lectures, exams, and film screenings, it reopened as a performing arts venue in 1997. Today, HMA serves as a venue for Registered Student Organizations (RSO) programs as well as other larger University functions, such as new student orientation, final exams, and graduation ceremonies. Since HMA is utilized for new student orientation every year, the building represents one of the first impressions students have on campus.
