 The Lorado Taft sculpture "Alma Mater", which now stands outside Altgeld Hall, was originally placed outside the south end of the Auditorium, where two fragments of the sculptor's "Fountain of Creation" are now located.The Auditorium was renovated in 1915, 1937, 1951 and 1970.The alterations to the interior in 1915 were intended to help the building's serious acoustical problem.
