Facilities
Robinson Hall is a state-of-the-art center for the performing arts containing 118,000 square feet of classrooms, offices, and rehearsal and performance space. The hall was built and equipped at a cost of $28 million, financed by a statewide bond issue approved by voters in a 2000 referendum. When the hall opened in 2004, the facilities greatly expanded and enlivened the educational program at UNC Charlotte by providing places for students and faculty to perform before a variety of publics.
The building’s location near the main entrance to the University makes it clearly visible from University City Boulevard, creating an iconic landmark for the campus. The building overlooks the scenic beauty of Heikenbleikner Lake, while also granting immediate access to nearby parking garages and offering direct pedestrian links to the core campus.
