The
Hoff Theater officially opened its doors to
University of Maryland, College Park students in
1972 during the renovations of the
Stamp Student Union. The theater was named after
William Hoff in
1975, Hoff had served as manager of the Union. The theater was on-campus hangout for students interested in seeing first and
second run films. In the late ninety's the theater was moved to a temporary location in the
Bio-Psych Building while the
Student Union once again underwent a
major expansion and renovation project. In the fall of
2002 the Theater once again opened its doors in the
Stamp Student Union, this newly renovated theater featuring amenities found in most
modern movie theaters.
