Len Allington
This 56,500 square foot facility houses the university’s Department of Music and the Department of Theatre and Cinema. The state-of-the-art facility includes rehearsal rooms, an art gallery, teaching studio, music media center, and a 350-seat recital hall with an adjustable acoustic ceiling, perfect for anything from solo performances or large choral groups.
The performance hall features a recording studio capable of reproducing audio and video of the highest quality. The facility features separate large instrumental and choral rehearsal rooms and a smaller chamber rehearsal hall, all three of which mirror the acoustics of the main recital hall, making them ideal practice spaces.
