University of Minnesota, Northrop Auditorium
Last week a portion of the roof of the University's Northrop auditorium building collapsed. The building, built in 1929, is an iconic structure on the University's campus, a bookend to the open mall at the center of the campus. It is the largest theater venue in the Twin Cities, seating over 2,600, and has one of the largest stages, making it an ideal venue for dance performances. In 2014 it reopened after an extensive remodel, which reduced the theater's seating capacity, added a second, smaller theater, and made several departmental offices.
