The Annex

Located conveniently across from the Howard Diner, the Annex is home to all-campus parties, like 70s party or Farm party, C@B concerts like D.R.A.M. and countless other events. At the end of the year, you will also report to the Annex for the housing lottery.

The Chapel

Although there is mass at the chapel every Sunday, this building hosts a variety of non-denominational events such as guest lectures, a cappella concerts and more. Side note: if someone tells you to go to the COOP, they mean the third floor of the chapel that houses the Community Outreach and Opportunity Program. Do not get this confused with the similarly named Co-Op, the informal name for the cooperative-living Woolcott House.

Wellin Performance Hall

If you are reading this you have probably already been shuttled into the Wellin several times for orientation presentations or accepted students events. However, aside from long orientation talks, Wellin will host dance performances, orchestra, acapella and even comedy shows. Just do not forget — the Wellin Performance Hall is across from Kirner-Johnson Building, just past Opus 1. Remember this when you find yourself at the Wellin Museum trying to figure out where they are hiding all the acapella groups.

The Hub

The Hub is another multi-purpose social space, located in the back of the Bristol Center. One minute, you might be at a meeting, another minute dancing with your friends at a Halloween party.

The Barn

Next to the Annex, Beinecke Village houses another performance space — the Barn. C@B Acoustic Coffeehouses, SPAC coffeehouses and several Late Nite @ Hamilton events take place there throughout the semester.

The Kennedy Auditorium

You might have your Intro Biology class in this Science Center basement auditorium, or attend any number of club and organization interest meetings and guest lectures here throughout the semester. Student athletes will attend their NCAA compliance meetings here. Insider tip — guest lectures here often have great snacks; just arrive on time before the cookies are gone.

The Romano Theatre

Located in the Kennedy Arts Center (we told you it’s confusing here), the Romano Theatre hosts Hamilton’s seasonal theatrical productions, the Director’s Showcase and, in previous years, has hosted a series of guest lecturers and speakers, including those who came as a part of Hamilton’s TEDx Speaker Series.
