Department of World Arts & Cultures/dance opened Glorya Kaufman Hall, made possible by an $18 million gift from Glorya Kaufman.
The donation marked the largest gift to the arts in UC history at the time, and the first core academic building on campus to be renamed for a woman.
Originally built in 1932, Kaufman Hall served as a women’s gymnasium for many years until it became the home of @uclawacd—used for dance and cultural studies as well as student and faculty performances.⠀⠀⠀
