Hyman Forum of the Athenaeum

Modeled after the amphitheatres of Europe, the Hyman Forum is a wide-open space configured to host various kinds of readings, performances, panel discussions, and other public events. It can accommodate crowds of varying sizes as they accumulate on the steps and seating areas to observe and participate in the programs and events. Video monitors around the forum enable visitors to watch unfolding world events, films, simulcasts of campus events, and other footage.
