TSC was established in 1961; it was intended not merely as an auditorium or recreation building but as a meeting place for students and teachers and the cultural heart of campus life.
For more than six decades it has been a familiar setting for talks, cultural programmes, theatre and music.
Built around a courtyard, the centre has an open ground where students gather; much of the campus’s theatre, music and cultural programming takes place here.
Being close to Shahbag and the Curzon Hall area, it connects easily with the Shaheed Minar and other historic sites on campus.
It is part of a working educational institution, so it is best to respect the institution’s rules and the movement of students while visiting.
Access may be limited during events or examinations; check the current campus situation before you go.
