Hatch Auditorium

Hatch Auditorium is a facility of the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell.

Hatch was an Episcopalian who is quoted as saying, "The Baptists have their hand on the pulse of humanity and seek to touch the needs of the people."

Ground was broken in the fall of 1967, and the auditorium was dedicated on July 17, 1968, with a trumpet fanfare and singing.

The auditorium consists of the main floor, an upstairs and downstairs front lobby, a balcony, and two classrooms behind the stage.

The downstairs lobby of Hatch has two of the auditorium's restrooms (the other two are located in the rear hallway which connects the two classrooms) and they face each other on the left and right sides next to the entrances to the main floor.

The curved back wall of the auditorium features an intricate pattern of small beams which also work to disguise the built in organ speakers.
