Located in the center of campus, the Laura Averitte Amphitheater was designed in 1990 and constructed sometime between 1995 and 1998. It visually unites several separate phases of construction and planning at Tennessee State University. The original campus was located on the north side of Centennial Boulevard. Beginning in 1931, several buildings were constructed south of Centennial Boulevard, with the street bisecting the campus. Over time, upgrades to the area were made: a rock-wall was initially installed along the street, sidewalks were added around 1993, and a bridge over the street connected the two sides of campus until it was town down in 1996. Shortly thereafter, construction of the Amphitheater was completed.
