Kane Hall
Throughout the day, the minimalist concrete structure
accommodates thousands of students in various lecture
classes. At other times, Kane Hall, named after Thomas
Kane, the UW9s 15th president, hosts a number of
different events that provide students with education
beyond the classroom. Located at the northern edge of
Red Square near the three brick monoliths, Kane Hall
includes five auditoriums of varying size, each seating
anywhere from several hundred to 720 students. Events
held at Kane Hall span from educational lecture series,
panels, and conferences to entertainment events like
film screenings, music performances, and even comedy
shows. UW-affiliated and unaffiliated organizations alike
can rent the spaces.
