Reviews
Kresge Auditorium reminds me of a wedge of an egg. The interior and exterior are beautiful. The acoustics are clear inside the auditorium. There is a whispering gallery. You can go to one end inside and whisper and a person at the other end of the gallery can hear you distinctly. There is no other building that looks like Kresge. You can sit or lie on the base of the building outside or try to climb it -- you won't get far. One of the great mysteries is the lack of elevators or accessibility for people with physical limitations. The restrooms are in the basement which are around 18 steps and there is a lift for final three stairs, but why not put a lift for the other 15 steps? Basically, for people with issues with steps, you need to climb stairs to get into the Auditorium, you need to walk down stairs for the Little Kresge Theatre, and the most steps are to the restrooms. Eero Saarinen the architect was probably able-bodied and didn't think beyond aesthetics and acoustics.
Huge conference room/concert hall of the MIT. Very good acoustics, very clean, powerful air conditioning. It needs to be retro-fitted with plugs along the seating lines for the attendees, the flying wires are a mess.
This gorgeous auditorium designed by Eero Saarinen is a time capsule for building innovation in the 1950s. The ankylosaurus-shaped shell creates a very interesting interior while allowing glass sides to frame a beautiful perspective of the Eero Saarinen's MIT chapel. Strongly recommend those who appreciate architecture to visit this cool building.
Phenomenal concert with Jacob Collier in collaboration with the MIT orchestra, jazz band, jazz choir and many others.
Visited the auditorium for a chemistry magic show. Well maintained place. Auditorium is spacious with seating for around 150 people.
Perfect place to conduct mini sessions. The performers and stage people are not very far apart which is good and one can listen to the people quickly and clearly.
Kresge Auditorium is a futuristic-looking, clamshell-shaped building from the outside and a charming mid-sized amphitheater inside. It is primarily a venue for MIT events, but many of the events are open to the general public. I have been to several musical productions there and the acoustics are top-notch. The seats are comfortable and no seat is far from the stage. The restrooms are clean, but located on a lower floor. Sometimes a large tent is erected on the front lawn for events which have food or demonstrations.
For anyone whose been to the Museum of Science, Omni Theatre building (dome like ceiling shape) this is quite similar to that, but on a smaller scale. Overall, very comfortable setting. Point of entrances, are also used as exit ways out of the auditorium...could be a lil' bit confusing in the midst of gathering crowds.
Comfortable auditorium. Fun fact: the building only touches the ground structurally at 3 points.
