About Lancelot Thompson Student Union Auditorium

Welcome to the Lancelot Thompson Student Union Auditorium, a multi‑purpose on‑campus venue in Toledo, Ohio. With a seating capacity of up to 1,500 and flexible configurations, this space hosts everything from meetings and banquets to dances, trade shows, concerts, weddings, and large conferences. The venue sits inside the Lancelot Thompson Student Union and can be divided into two rooms for smaller events. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby accommodations to help you secure your seats with ease.

Located at 2801 W Bancroft St, Toledo, the auditorium benefits from campus amenities and nearby services. While seating charts vary by event and are arranged through Conference and Event Services, you can still plan with confidence knowing the space adapts to your specific needs.
