Note:
The building opened in 1925 as Thompson Gymnasium and became the first indoor athletic facility at North Carolina State University. Until the opening of Reynolds Coliseum, it hosted intercollegiate basketball games. It was renovated and renamed Thompson Theater in 1963 and, following another comprehensive renovation in 2009, the name was changed to Thompson Hall.
