Hofheinz Pavilion

The Hofheinz Pavilion is named after Judge Roy Hofheinz, an alumnus of the school and prominent Houstonian known for his philanthropy. The Hofheinz Pavilion was also the first home of the Houston Rockets before the opening of The Summit in 1975. The Hof has been renovated several times and has hosted a number of high-profile musical concerts, including the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones.
