About Bailey Hall

With a seating capacity of 1300, Bailey Hall has been home to the Cornell Concert Series for more than a century.

Bailey Hall was constructed in 1912, according to the Greek Revival architectural design of Edward Brodhead Green (Cornell class of 1878). The hall was named for Liberty Hyde Bailey, the first dean of what is now Cornell’s College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. In 2006, the building reopened after a major rehabilitation which brought it up to modern building and ADA codes.
