George C. S. Benson Auditorium
George C. S. Benson Auditorium
The George C.S. Benson Auditorium is Pitzer’s largest indoor event space and is as gorgeous as it is functional. This stadium-style auditorium is home to a large performance stage, cushy movie-style folding seats, and a ton of technology features to support almost any event. The room was meticulously built with great acoustics in mind and a lot of our hosted presenters find that they don’t even need a microphone to address their audience (though we certainly have microphones available if requested).
Benson Auditorium plays host to all kinds of events; including classes, plays, musical performances, lectures, presentations, meetings, conventions, and more.
