Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
The theater was born out of U-M's women's rights history: it was built inside the Michigan League, the women's answer to the men-only Michigan Union.
One of few U.S. theaters with a cyclorama — a curved rear wall that enhances acoustics and enables creative lighting.

Power Center for the Performing Arts
The Power Center opened in 1971 to fill the gap between Hill Auditorium and Mendelssohn Theatre; combining a soaring interior with intimate feel.
Designed by the same duo (Roche and Dinkeloo) who designed the Ford Foundation Building in New York, with the interior designed by legendary Broadway scenic designer Jo Mielziner — one of the most distinguished design pedigrees of any campus theater in the country.
Rackham Auditorium
Rackham Auditorium has served as the ongoing home for U-M's annual MLK Symposium events, connecting the university's civil rights legacy to the present day.
Located on the first floor of the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies on central campus, the auditorium hosts lectures, a cappella, and small ensembles.
Residential College Art Gallery
At roughly 500 sq. ft., it may be small, but it mounts both professional and student exhibits each semester and has introduced generations of RC students to original contemporary art.
The RC Gallery hosts two professional and one RC student exhibit per semester (fall & winter).
Located in East Quadrangle, open to the public during gallery hours. Access via northwest corner of East Quad on East University Street.
