"The auditorium is associated with both Wright and Grady Gammage, past president of the University. Gammage directed campus growth following World War II, which culminated in the re-designation of Arizona State Teachers College to Arizona State University, in 1958. This building is expressive of Wright’s theories of architecture and is a masterpiece of circular design."
