The McCreless Fine Arts Building, erected in 1962, is named for the late Dr. S.E. McCreless, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and his wife, Mrs. Lila McCreless. The first floor consists of eleven studios for music professors, two organ rehearsal rooms, four classrooms, three instrumental and choral rehearsal rooms, two music libraries, two instrument storage rooms, a faculty conference room and kitchen, offices for the Music Department Head and clerical staff, and Akers Auditorium, which seats approximately 350. The second floor houses the art department classrooms, offices, and studios, as well as thirty-five music practice rooms for the use of students on campus. Lockers Lockers located on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building are for student use during the year. It should also be noted that in the unlikely event that all lockers are filled, first preference must be given to majors.
Lockers are to be emptied before the summer term.
Any exceptions should be cleared with the Music Department Chair. Instrument storage lockers, located in room 124 across from the band room, are signed out at the beginning of the semester with the student manager for the Concert Band. These lockers are for the purpose of storing instruments, cases, and personal music literature. Students are asked to refrain from using these lockers for any other storage. Practice Rooms Students are encouraged to use the practice room facilities for preparation of private lessons and recitals.
