Hill Hall’s auditorium will be renovated and named after former Chancellor James Moeser and his wife Susan.
The $15 million renovation will begin in 2015 and take two years to complete. The “James and Susan Moeser Auditorium” will include a climate control system, new acoustics, a professional grade stage, and a new piano and equipment lift.
Hill Hall is home to UNC’s music department, so the honor is fitting: James Moeser is a well-known organ recitalist and church musician; and Susan Moeser is the University Organist, a doctor of musical arts from the University of Kansas, and a lecturer in the music department.
