Folder description	Aycock Auditorium, now UNCG Auditorium, was designed by Harry Barton of Greensboro, North Carolina, and opened in 1927. The building was known as the North Carolina College for Women Auditorium until June 4, 1928, when it was named in honor of North Carolina Governor Charles B. Aycock. Since its opening, the auditorium has been used for commencement events, chapel programs, lectures, and concerts. In 2006, the University made extensive renovations to the auditorium, including updating and improving acoustics, enlarging the orchestra pit, building new dressing rooms, and adding handicap accessibility to the entire building. It reopened in 2008. On February 18, 2016, the UNCG Board of Trustees voted to remove Aycock’s name from the building. It is now called the UNCG Auditorium.
