Facilities

The School of Music recently moved into a new three-story, 130,000 square-foot facility. This $25.7 million building houses beautiful performance spaces; instrumental, choral, and percussion rehearsal halls; a unified music library; electronic music studios and outstanding practice facilities. A primary performance space is the wonderfully appointed 350-seat Recital Hall.

Our 130-seat Organ Recital Hall provides an intimate atmosphere featuring a stunning 35-rank pipe organ made by the Andover Organ Company of Massachusetts. Larger ensembles perform in UNCG's historic treasure, the recently renovated Aycock Auditorium.

Students and faculty enjoy the comforts of well-equipped performance, rehearsal and lecture halls, and teaching space. Perhaps most important to students is the availability of ample practice rooms - several with computerized V-technology and Coda Technologies Smart Music - and the rich library collection, completely housed in the new music building.

Other features include an acoustics research laboratory, a music education laboratory, a psychoacoustics laboratory, faculty and student lounges, a central recording facility and a computer laboratory.
