Noble & Greenough Lawrence Auditorium

Lawrence Auditorium is one of the most important buildings at the Noble and Greenough School, located at the heart of its beautiful campus. It is not only a place for lectures, music, and other educational activities but also the setting for a lasting tradition: the Morning Assembly. Every morning, the entire school community gathers here to hear words of inspiration from the Head of School and mission-driven lectures from faculty and guest speakers. The original 600-seat auditorium had limited stage space and required additional seating capacity. The design solution increased seating capacity through an expanded rear rake, made the building fully accessible, and updated its theatrical lighting and audiovisual technology. An enlarged control room now doubles as a teaching space.
