Royce Hall at UCLA is one of the most recognizable performance venues on the University of California, Los Angeles campus and an architectural symbol of the university. Built in 1929, it is distinguished by a monumental façade with twin towers and Romanesque elements inspired by Milan's Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio. The auditorium, with approximately 1,800 seats, hosts theater and dance productions, concerts, visiting artists, lectures and other cultural programs.
One of the hall's defining qualities is its refined acoustics, which have helped establish Royce Hall as an important Los Angeles concert venue for decades. The interior combines historic character with the functionality of a modern performance hall, while the auditorium is dominated by a decorative Renaissance-inspired coffered ceiling. The seating layout and design of the space support clear sound and good views of the stage, making the hall suitable for musical, theatrical and spoken-word events alike.
The venue is located on UCLA's North Campus at 10745 Dickson Ct, Los Angeles, United States of America.
