In 2004, the auditorium was named as the "Building of the Century" by the American Institute of Architects. The auditorium hosts hundreds of events annually including musical performances, world-class orchestras, concerts, dance, theatre, country and rock concerts, popular Broadway musical performances along with graduations.
