Amphitheatre

The Rackham Amphitheatre, located on the fourth floor of the Rackham Building, features a projector and screen, and a presentation area that can accommodate panels of up to 8 members. The room is steeply graded for maximum viewing and the sightlines are excellent from anywhere in the room. The Amphitheatre is used primarily for major and guest lecturers. It is an excellent space for panel discussions as well.
