One of its own kind having the very beautiful architecture and a heritage for us....⭐⭐⭐Kennedy Hall is the Central Auditorium of AMU. Apart from screening the award winning movies during the Film Festival, it hosts a plethora of events. The events include Musical Nights, Plays, and interactive sessions with University guests, high-profile alumni and dignitaries visiting the campus.Performing at Kennedy auditorium is a feat in itself for AMU students. Anyone who could repeatedly perform successfully on this stage would be good enough to face any kind of audience. Its a platform which brings out the best of talents in the country. For that matter, it is not only about Kennedy Auditorium. It could very well be Strachey Hall or any other Literary and Cultural event stage at AMU. AMU audience is ever ready with bouquets in one hand and brickbats in the other. I can go on to the extent of claiming that AMU also nurtures the best critics on acting, singing and oratorical skills. One who is carried on the shoulders for his outstanding talent at AMU has the potential to make it to one of the Indias best talents.The memories of Kennedy Hall include the Film Festivals where the students shouted their favourite movie dialogues in chorus even before the actor would deliver them in the movie scene. I also remember the occasion when the students coerced the Vice chancellor into wearing a cap while addressing the gathering as it was an age old AMU tradition.

Auditorium with a seating capacity of approximately 1375 persons, which also happens to be the largest auditorium in any Central University in India at the time it was built. The area of the sitting hall is 9350 sq. feet, with a gigantic stage of 3500 sq.feet, and foyer area is of 1860 sq. feet. The height of auditorium ceiling is 47 feet. The total area of the auditorium comprises of 14,710 sq. feet.The auditorium is equipped with ‘state of the art-stage’ most suitable for theatrical and musical performances, and also has distinction of only auditorium of country to possess two revolving stages or turntables. The auditorium is designed to provide an unusually high level of visual and aural activity. The hexagonal form and steeply dished floor, the shallow under balcony space are all devices for providing a maximum number of good seats. The stage has a large 35’ x 60’ proscenium and there is space for scenery; both at the wings and in a stage loft. Dressing rooms, two green rooms, rehearsal room both open air and enclosed and work rooms complete the auditorium facilities”.The two revolving stages of Kennedy Auditorium were dysfunctional till October 2016, when they were restored to its past glory after five decades. The auditorium’s projector room is fitted with two RCA 35MM Film Projectors, along with a giant 800 sq ft. movable Cinema Scope screen installed at the stage. They were the first and only functional solid-state projector and movable cinema screen of India.

Kennedy Auditorium of AMU, Aligarh is the epicentre of Art, Culture, Music, Theatre & Plays. It is a wonderful place which is comprised of two tiers. The upper portion is reserved for girls only while the lower one is for boys with gentlemen & ladies in the front section as guests & dignitaries.We have loads of fond memories of Kennedy Auditorium which we have enjoyed & shared with our friends & seniors.The flying paper planes with number & names directed towards upper section & return of those planes with witty replies is one among many treasured memories.

The place is so big that a lot people can sit and it is multi floored i.e. it has an upper floor too. Fully air conditioned and few fans too. The quality of projector is good but the speaker setup must be little more improved.

The most beautiful and attractive auditorium situated near Maulana Azad Library AMU. I had heard the the one who stands up on the dice of this auditorium can never be defeated anywhere in the universe . This is a real truth because facing such a huge crowd of audience is not an easy task. The name Kennedy Auditorium throws back in the rememberable memories of the students of AMU. I must say that not only me but the whole Alig fraternity loves this auditorium.I really Miss this place...

It has its historical importance.As you might have heard the title song from movie Mere Mehbuub Mere Mehbuub tujhe meri muhabbat ki kasam has been shot in this theatre .The Cultural Education Centre is dedicated to serve the development and enhancement of cultural and educational activities within the campus and in reach of the community. It is fully interdisciplinary in scope.

Entrance to the Centre was through a series of arches roofed over by thin shells of concrete, and then, into a great court, carefully. However, this entrance couldn’t be made due to paucity of funds in later stage.To encourage cultured social relationships, two minor courts were planned as extensions on each side of the great court. One of these students’ courts was intended to afford place for informal conversations in an amicable, sheltered setting, or for solitary reading, with refreshment of a cup of tea available close at hand (canteen). The other court, for the faculty and staff was planned for intimate and informal contacts or meetings between individual students and their teachers.Now what stands across the great court, opposite the entrance, is the multi-purpose lecture museum building. It contains four lecture halls of approximately 100 seats, a large conference room and numerous auxiliary museum display spaces where exhibits paralleling the material covered in the general education course may be installed.Flanking the gallery museum building is the library block on the south. This building was elevated on piers permitting passage underneath to the student court. On the north is a block containing 10 classrooms and 20 teachers’ cubicles. Beyond these classrooms is a tree shaded open-air court containing several outdoor classrooms while contained within the ‘U’ shape of the lock is a small courtyard onto which the teachers cubicles open. At present these beautiful buildings were occupied by the Department of Museology and Centre for professional courses.To the west of the lecture museum building lays the auditorium with a seating capacity of approximately 1375 persons, which also happens to be the largest auditorium in any Central University in India at the time it was built. The area of the sitting hall is 9350 sq. feet, with a gigantic stage of 3500 sq.feet, and foyer area is of 1860 sq. feet. The height of auditorium ceiling is 47 feet. The total area of the auditorium comprises of 14,710 sq. feet.The auditorium is equipped with ‘state of the art-stage’ most suitable for theatrical and musical performances, and also has distinction of only auditorium of country to possess two revolving stages or turntables.

The hexagonal form and steeply dished floor, the shallow under balcony space are all devices for providing a maximum number of good seats. The stage has a large 35’ x 60’ proscenium and there is space for scenery; both at the wings and in a stage loft. Dressing rooms, two green rooms, rehearsal room both open air and enclosed and work rooms complete the auditorium facilities”.The two revolving stages of Kennedy Auditorium were dysfunctional till October 2016, when they were restored to its past glory after five decades. The auditorium’s projector room is fitted with two RCA 35MM Film Projectors, along with a giant 800 sq ft. movable Cinema Scope screen installed at the stage. They were the first and only functional solid-state projector and movable cinema screen of India.A small planetarium was planned to the east of the picture gallery and a curved creeper covered wall to be constructed to line the buildings and embrace a sizeable tree shaded area, for the students to listen informally to the recorded or performed music, while coming and going, as desired with a minimum of disturbance to one another.To the south of the auditorium it was proposed to construct an open air theater of 6000 seating capacity laid out so that the facilities of the auditorium are equally convenient to the stage of the open air theater. Under the highest tiers of the open-air theater will be space for a hobby workshop where the students can be constructively occupied. This wonderful plan also not came up due to some reasons, and now that space is used as foot ball ground.Source:- CEC Website
