Jeannik Méquet Littlefield Concert Hall

Jeannik Méquet Littlefield Concert Hall is a distinctive performance venue on the Oakland campus of Northeastern University, offering event organisers an elegant and technically capable setting for live productions and audience-focused gatherings. The renovated hall combines historic architectural character with modern event infrastructure, making it suitable for concerts, recitals, theatrical performances, author readings, panel discussions, graduation ceremonies, screenings and other programmed events.

The auditorium provides approximately 420 seats, including accessible seating, with a sizeable stage measuring around 1,026 square feet. Its acoustically treated interior, professional Meyer Sound system, Yamaha front-of-house mixing console and dedicated microphone connectivity support high-quality spoken-word, musical and theatrical productions. A Christie projector and large projection screen are also available for presentations, film screenings, lectures and multimedia programmes.

The venue’s design creates a memorable backdrop, with timber details, decorative frescoes, chandeliers and a richly finished ceiling that add visual impact without requiring extensive styling. The adjoining Music Building lobby can accommodate up to 246 people standing, offering a practical space for arrivals, interval refreshments, networking or post-event receptions. Food and beverages are not permitted inside the auditorium itself, so organisers can plan hospitality around the lobby or other approved areas.

Behind the hall, the open-air Greek Theatre provides an additional option for acoustic, daytime events, with terraced seating for up to 500 guests. The wider Mills Performing Arts operation also includes several performance spaces and supports music, dance, theatre, lectures, symposiums, workshops and screenings. With campus parking, accessible facilities and an experienced performing arts environment, the venue is well suited to cultural programmers, universities, production teams, conference organisers and companies planning polished live events in Oakland.
