Kresge Auditorium

Accessible parking is available throughout campus on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking attendants will direct patrons to the proper lot prior to guest artist performances in Kresge Auditorium. 

Patron Drop-Off Areas

Each venue has a designated drop-off area for guests who need to travel a shorter distance. Guests at Kresge Auditorium may be dropped off at the yellow poles directly across from the main entrance. Corson Auditorium and Harvey Theatre have a convenient pull-off area in front of the building. Guests at Upton-Morley Pavilion and the Phoenix Theatre may be dropped off curbside directly in front of the building. Guests at Dendrinos Chapel and Recital Hall may be dropped off across from Lot I or J on Ormandy Road directly behind the building.  

Courtesy wheelchairs are available upon request at Corson Auditorium and Kresge Auditorium and may be used to transport guests from the drop-off area to your seat. Locate an usher for assistance. Please be aware that our staff will not remain with you during an event, nor will they allow you to remain in the wheelchair for the duration of the event.     

For guests who wish to transfer to a seat from their own personal wheelchair, we will store your wheelchair or mobility aids at an easily accessible area in the auditorium. Our staff will make arrangements to return the wheelchair or mobility aids to you at the end of the event, or any other time you would prefer.

Barrier-free access for patrons with physical or other disabilities include restroom facilities and designated seating. You may purchase up to three (3) companion seats to accompany each guest in a barrier-free location. Any additional seats must be purchased in the regular seating areas. This policy ensures that we are able to accommodate more patrons in need of these features. Tickets may be purchased online, in person, and by phone.  All tickets are subject to availability.  

Please note:

• The Wheelchair accessible seating and Row G in Corson Auditorium are the only seating areas which do not have any stairs to traverse. 
• Row M in Upton-Morley Pavilion does not have stairs. 
• The designated barrier-free seats in Harvey Theatre are the only seats without stairs. This venue requires one step up to the front row seats. 

All other venues than those listed above are general admission and can accommodate those with mobility impairments.
