The Auditorium building. Its construction started on September 1, 1961 and was finished almost five years later. There are two large lecture halls on the first level and two smaller on the second floor. The Great (Grote, later Blue) Hall is the main auditorium of the university and is a setting for official events such as graduations, inaugural speeches etc. There is also the Senaatszaal (University Senate room) and, according to the TU/e encyclopedia, a special royal apartment. But what's most important here is the brutalist style in which the building was designed and constructed. This, however, will be visible more a bit later.
