This auditorium was named for Dr. Andrew W.
Cordier, a 1922 graduate of Manchester and former distinguished professor. Dr. Cordier was also a scholar, diplomat, conciliator, negotiator, and administrator. Cordier Auditorium was completed in the spring of 1978. This spacious building seats 1,300 people in continental style. A three-manual, 45-rank pipe organ was installed in 1981, funded in part by a generous gift from
Mr. and Mrs. William Cable. Dressing rooms, stage preparation, storage areas, and fly loft are provided in this facility. A large dividable meeting room is available on the lower level.
