Swan Auditorium

Swan Auditorium

Great for conferences, training events, theatrical productions, or concerts

The 450-seat William E. Swan Auditorium, which is connected to Paczesny Hall, opened in October 2006. It’s named after the late Bill Swan, former CEO of First Niagara Financial Group, as testimony to his dedication to the Franciscan spirit and ideals.

Equipped with state-of-the-art stage sound and lighting capabilities, the 24,000-square foot Swan Auditorium features a performance space, two dressing rooms, a green room and a large rehearsal space that may be divided into two areas. The venue is ideal for lectures, political debates, conferences, theater productions, music concerts and other special events offered by Hilbert and area community groups.

Paczesny Hall

Great space for groups of 5-55 and breakout sessions, with the latest technology including Smart boards

Paczesny Hall opened in 2006 and was the first new classroom and faculty workspace since the original academic building, later named Bogel Hall, opened in 1969. 

The 24,000-square-foot interactive and flexible learning space features 12 smart classrooms including a 3-1 room, which can be used as a large room or divided into as many three separate classrooms.  In addition to office space for 12 faculty members and study areas throughout the building, Paczesny Hall also houses the Honors Lounge, Hafner Veteran’s Center, and the state-of-the-art Center for Creative Media.
