The Wright-designed building is named for Dr. Grady Gammage,
the legendary ASU president who led Arizona State College’s victorious
campaign in the state legislature for a name change to Arizona State
University in 1958. Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium, considered by
many to be the crowning jewel of ASU’s Tempe campus, is one of Frank Lloyd
Wright’s last designs and was constructed to be as acoustically perfect as
possible.
