Petters Auditorium

In February 2003, Thomas Petters, Chairman and CEO of Petters Group, pledged $3 Million to the College of Saint Benedict for the expansion of the Benedicta Arts Center (BAC). The BAC's 1,078 seat auditorium was named the Petters Auditorium to honor Petters' parents, Rosemary Boyle Petters and Frederick E. Petters.

Petters' mother is a graduate of CSB and his father a graduate of Saint John's University, while several aunts, a sister, and a cousin are also CSB alumnae.

As part of the renovation and expansion of the BAC, the Petters Auditorium has received all new seats.
