    Kennedy Hall is the Central Auditorium of AMU. Apart from screening the award winning movies during the Film Festival, it hosts a plethora of events. The events include, Plays, and interactive sessions with University guests, high-profile alumni and dignitaries visiting the campus. Performing at Kennedy auditorium is a feat in itself for AMU students. Anyone who could repeatedly perform successfully on this stage would be good enough to face any kind of audience.

    This well known auditorium is specially famous for its cultural and traditional shows and dramas. Recently I visited there. That was an amazing feeling while watching the drama about Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's life journey. Overall, I enjoyed a lot.. However when I went there the volenteers said that it is full, there is no pleace for sitting, but after sometime he allowed me to go inside. A lot of people were there at the moment therefore everyone was feeling hot. I would suggest you, if you want to go there then go before time. So that you will get seat for sitting.

    entrance to the auditorium. This museum and foyer are now converted in to Musa Dakri Museum, a central museum facility of the University. To the north of the classroom block is the old geology museum, which will become a picture gallery and music court in the centre. Although this building has an ungainly exterior of a type of colonial plaster Neo-Greek style the interior has a certain grace and amplitude. It is proposed to retain this building after stripping off the crude exterior ornaments and plastering and to surround the building with vine-covered trellis and verandah. This was not materialized at that time and now this building had been converted in to University Canteen and then Moinuddin Art gallery. A small planetarium was planned to the east of the picture gallery and a curved creeper covered wall to be constructed to line the buildings and embrace a sizeable tree shaded area, for the students to listen informally to the recorded or performed music, while coming and going, as desired with a minimum of disturbance to one another. To the south of the auditorium it was proposed to construct an open air theater of 6000 seating capacity laid out so that the facilities of the auditorium are equally convenient to the stage of the open air theater. Under the highest tiers of the open-air theater will be space for a hobby workshop where the students can be constructively occupied. This wonderful plan also not came up due to some reasons, and now that space is used as foot ball ground. The Aligarh Muslim University is one of the first universities of India to introduce General Education courses for its students. At that time, courses in General Education were obligatory for all students of the Pre-University and the first two years of the Degree classes. The main aim of these courses was to build up an integrated and cultured personality as far as that is possible through the imparting of knowledge. An integrated and cultured personality is really the one that is aware of its natural social and cultural environment. So the first requisite for the development of such a personality is the knowledge of this threefold environment.

    It is located inside the Cultural and Educational Center, Aligarh Muslim University. It is a beautiful place and one of the largest auditoriums. Various activities, college fests and movie nights are organised here. It is a place for University students to chill and explore there creativity. It also has Musa Dakri museum near it where you'll find various things related to the historical values.

    Kennedy Hall is the Central Auditorium of AMU. Apart from screening the award winning movies during the Film Festival, it hosts a plethora of events. The events include Musical Nights, Plays, and interactive sessions with University guests, high-profile alumni and dignitaries visiting the campus. Performing at Kennedy auditorium is a feat in itself for AMU students. Anyone who could repeatedly perform successfully on this stage would be good enough to face any kind of audience. It's a platform which brings out the best of talents in the country. For that matter, it is not only about Kennedy Auditorium. It could very well be Strachey Hall or any other Literary and Cultural event stage at AMU. AMU audience is ever ready with bouquets in one hand and brickbats in the other. I can go on to the extent of claiming that AMU also nurtures the best critics on acting, singing and oratorical skills. One who is carried on the shoulders for his outstanding talent at AMU has the potential to make it to one of the India's best talents. My memories of Kennedy Hall include the Film Festivals where the students shouted their favourite movie dialogues in chorus even before the actor would deliver them in the movie scene. I also remember the occasion when the students coerced the Vice chancellor into wearing a cap while addressing the gathering as it was an age old AMU tradition.

    auditorium with a seating capacity of approximately 1375 persons, which also happens to be the largest auditorium in any Central University in India at the time it was built. The area of the sitting hall is 9350 sq. feet, with a gigantic stage of 3500 sq.feet, and foyer area is of 1860 sq. feet. The height of auditorium ceiling is 47 feet. The total area of the auditorium comprises of 14,710 sq. feet. The auditorium is equipped with ‘state of the art-stage’ most suitable for theatrical and musical performances, and also has distinction of only auditorium of country to possess two revolving stages or turntables. The auditorium is designed to provide an unusually high level of visual and aural activity. The hexagonal form and steeply dished floor, the shallow under balcony space are all devices for providing a maximum number of good seats. The stage has a large 35’ x 60’ proscenium and there is space for scenery; both at the wings and in a stage loft. Dressing rooms, two green rooms, rehearsal room both open air and enclosed and work rooms complete the auditorium facilities”. The two revolving stages of Kennedy Auditorium were dysfunctional till October 2016, when they were restored to its past glory after five decades. The auditorium’s projector room is fitted with two RCA 35MM Film Projectors, along with a giant 800 sq ft. movable Cinema Scope screen installed at the stage. They were the first and only functional solid-state projector and movable cinema screen of India.
