SSECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

About Cahn Auditorium

HISTORY Cahn Auditorium, built in 1940, is the largest performance space on campus, with 1,007 seats. Cahn Auditorium was designed by architect James Gamble Rogers as an aesthetic extension of his Women’s Quadrangle to the west, and as a complement to the Deering Library. In keeping with the intention of Scott Hall’s planners to make it a cultural center, an auditorium seating over 1,200 (later dropped to 1000 seats to accommodate sound and light booths) was built on its north side to host musical and theatrical events and guest speakers. The auditorium was named after the civic leader Bertram Cahn, NU donor, trustee, and alumnus (Law, 1899), and chairman of the clothier B. Kuppenheimer and Company. Since its inception, Cahn auditorium has been the site of distinguished dramatic productions, annual dance concerts, and appearances by nationally important speakers.

COMMUNITY Cahn Auditorium plays a large role in the journey of Northwestern Students. The Auditorium hosts many events during Wildcat Welcome each year, and is one of the first places that students experience on campus. Many of the students then finish their collegiate careers at Cahn, as the auditorium hosts several convocations and commencement events. Cahn Auditorium presents a dynamic slate of events throughout each year. Dance, music, and speaker presentations entertain and educate both the Northwestern Community and the greater Chicago area. Recently, Cahn has also hosted luminaries and events that have been livestreamed around the country and world. Many student organizations and departments reach out to host their event in Cahn because of the local and national reputation the venue has achieved.

Cahn Lineset Schedule and Rigging Information 7/31/15

GGENERAL INFORMATION Grid Height is 49'-0" Max out trim for the Battens is 47'-6" except as where noted.

Battens on line sets #1 – #4 are 54’-0" long.

Battens on line sets #5 – #50 are 59’-0" long.

Battens on linesets 17, 18, 21, 30, 34, and 40 have double mounted pipes (two pipes running in parallel for added strength). This decreases the maximum out trim as noted.

Battens on either side of the electrics have decreased maximum out trims to accommodate the size of the motors.

All line sets have 6’ arbors except the permanent electrics (#4, #16, #27, & #39) which are motorized.

6’ arbors support 1000 lbs.

Motorized permanent electrics support 2000 lbs.

A note about linesets: as shown below, many of the linesets are set very near to each other, as close as 4". The reasoning behind this is to provide linesets in as many useful locations as possible, not to provide the ability to hang 50 separate items. It is not to be assumed that two linesets 4" apart can both be used at the same time.


PPROSCENIUM DIMENSIONS

The building plaster proscenium is 25'h x 50'w. The Permanent Portal is 18' h x 42' w.
