KU HISTORY
On June 15, 1991, lightning struck Hoch Auditorium, burning it to the ground in less than four hours. The building had been a target of lightning before, and ironically, plans were in the works to install lightning rods on the building that summer. The building had been home to KU basketball games from 1927 to 1955, hosted the Rock Chalk Revue for 40 years and was home to archival material of the university's FM radio station KANU. The structure was rebuilt and dedicated as Budig Hall in 1997. For more, visit
