History

Kingsbury Hall was designed by Edward O. Anderson and Lorenzo Snow Young and built in 1930. [2] It was named after Joseph T. Kingsbury, former president of the University. Many of Utah's performing arts organizations started in Kingsbury Hall, including Ballet West and Utah Opera. [2] Along with eight buildings along University Circle, Kingsbury Hall is part of the University of Utah Circle historic district, [3] which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [4]

The building was renovated in 1997 thanks to a $1.7 million donation from Bruce Bastian. [5]

On October 7, 2020, Kingsbury Hall was the site of the vice presidential debate between then Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic nominee and California Senator Kamala Harris. [6]
