Part of Reed College, Kaul Auditorium provides a venue with first-class acoustics for music performances, lectures, and small theatre productions. Kaul is a state-of-the-art auditorium designed for multi-purpose use. As a theater, it can accommodate up to 756 people. It can also accommodate 280 at rounds for banquet seating. The stage offers space for performances, presentations, or a dance floor for evening activities. The auditorium features full sound and light systems, and is air conditioned.

The adjoining Gray Center Lounge serves as the lobby area for the auditorium, and can be used separately or in conjunction with the rental of the auditorium for receptions, pre-concert lectures, or other small functions. The dramatic architecture, comfortable furniture and fireplace, combined with art from our Cooley Gallery Art Collection, make the lounge an excellent venue for receptions and dinners. Lighting is versatile, and sound may be heard through our in-room sound system.
