The auditorium in Pavilion A of UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital supports UK
HealthCare's commitment to providing the best that medicine has to offer within a
healing environment that conveys the unique spirit of Kentucky.
Conveniently located just off the new pavilion's lobby, the 305-seat auditorium
serves as a high-tech education center where physicians and staff can take part in

unparalleled education and performing space. "Blending music with medicine establishes
UK not only for its excellence in health care, but for excellence in the healing arts
as well," said Everett McCorvey, UK director of opera and chair of the Auditorium
Design Committee.
