Convocation Hall

Convocation Hall, one of the first two buildings on Emory University's Atlanta campus, was built more than a century ago and is being meticulously restored to serve as an academic hub. Originally known as the theology building, the structure opened in 1916 and was the first building to open on Emory’s main quadrangle. Home through the decades to university executives, faculty, libraries and even the campus post office, Convocation Hall now supports Emory’s mission through offices for university leaders. It also supports broad institutional uses including academic gatherings, trustee meetings and significant campus events.
