O'Shaughnessy Hall (gymnasium at St. Thomas University)

~ Educational institution

Annotation

Frequently confused with O'Shaughnessy Auditorium in Saint Paul, MN... located about 2 miles (3 km) away.

After a lot of research, I do not believe that any musical performances have taken place in this building. All of the recordings linked to here should be changed to O'Shaughnessy Auditorium

This was a three story tall gymnasium (200xx100x40 ft)...

First floor contains a five lane swimming pool, a three meter diving board, and seating.

Second floor contains class rooms for Physical Education, offices, lounge and game rooms, bowling alleys, and a weight room.

Third floor contains three basketball courts, two racquetball/handball and two squash courts, and a serving room.

Also, Locker rooms, The Health & Human Performance Department. Coaches' offices, electric scoreboard, bleachers, rowing machines, stationary bicycles, student lounge and room for non-athletic games such as chess, dominoes and checkers.

... I really don't think there have ever been any classical music performances here.

O’Shaughnessy Hall opened in January 1940 and served as St. Thomas’ primary athletics building until 1981, when Schoenecker Arena and Coughlan Field House opened on the site of the old Armory. The arena and field house were demolished last summer to make way for the new Anderson complex.
