The University of Graz was originally accommodated in the college rooms of the Jesuit College (Seminary) until 1607 when the lecture theatres moved to a new building at the centre of Graz. The foundation stone was laid by the Archduke Ferdinand II of Styria and the original features of the university building have been largely preserved to this very day. From historic accounts we know that rhetoric, poetry, physics and logic were taught in the lecture theatres on the ground floor. The two large rooms on the upper floor were used as an Aula (auditorium) and as a theatre.
Between 1778-1781 the upper floor was converted. A major conversion gave rise to a large library. A further smaller wooden addition created a small library which still exists.
The picture still presented by the hall today is that of the former library.
