Excellent Facilities
The Climenhaga Fine Arts Center offers striking, well-lit drawing and painting studios, a printmaking studio with intaglio and lithography presses, and a darkroom for photography. Climenhaga Fine Arts Center also houses the M. Louise Aughinbaugh Gallery, which exhibits the work of internationally recognized artists as well as faculty and students.
The 400-seat Miller Auditorium, the 150-seat Poorman Recital Hall, a large instrumental rehearsal hall, and ample practice room space enhance your musical studies and performances. Our extensive technological facilities include a recording studio, a MIDI synthesizer lab, and a computer and electric piano lab. And our students have access to a large pipe organ, several grand pianos (including a nine-foot Steinway D in Poorman Recital Hall), a French double harpsichord, and about 150 band and orchestra instruments.
Frey Hall (1992) houses approximately half of the art spaces: a sculpture studio equipped for wood and stone carving, wood construction, welding, and mixed media work; a ceramics studio with 20 throwing wheels and electric and gas-fired kilns; a textiles studio equipped for dyeing, printing, sewing, weaving, and mixed processes; a graphics computer lab and drafting lab outfitted with MAC and PC stations, scanners, and color printers; and specially equipped art history classrooms and a slide library.
