History
Schofield Auditorium is located on the first floor of Schofield Hall, the original Eau Claire State Normal School building that opened in 1916. The facility was called Old Main Auditorium until 1960, when the building was named to honor Harvey A. Schofield, first president of Eau Claire State Normal School.
Extensively remodeled in 1960, the auditorium received its second extensive renovation in 2011, to incorporate new seating, sound improvements, theater lighting, central room control, a video wall projection system, and other aesthetic and facility improvements.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
