Hill Auditorium is the largest performance space on Central Campus, seating more than 4000. Its excellent acoustics make it a favorite of music lovers.

Hill is located on North University next to the Bell Tower.

The building was dedicated in June, 1913 by Governor Ferris with these words:

Any attempt to estimate the resources of Michigan without considering our great University would result in failure. Our vast iron and copper mines, our coal and salt, our fisheries, our farms, our orchards, all are of immense value. They are fundamental to existence. After all, their existence is primarily for the realization and appreciation of higher riches, the riches of the human soul. Michigan as a state possesses the natural riches I have named. Michigan likewise possesses this great University. I, as Governor of Michigan, in her behalf gratefully accept the gift of the Hill Auditorium.
