Pennington Biomedical is a globally recognized leader in biomedical research and innovation, relying on state-of-the-art facilities to advance its research mission through enhanced learning and collaboration. The Kevin P. Reilly, Sr. Auditorium stands as the premier venue where our community of researchers, leaders, and emerging scientists gather to share critical research findings, learn collaboratively, and forge partnerships for groundbreaking discoveries. To elevate and enhance the auditorium's impact, we are envisioning a renovation designed to modernize the space, improve accessibility, integrate advanced technology, and create a comfortable and effective learning environment. The proposed renovation of the Kevin P. Reilly, Sr. Auditorium is a strategic investment in Pennington Biomedical Research Center's future success and prestige in Baton Rouge, all while honoring the legacy of the Reilly family.
