It is home to a variety of concert venues, including the Lotte Lehmann concert hall (seating for 460 people), the Karl Geiringer Hall (seating approximately 100 people), Room 1145 (seating 135 people), and an outdoor Music Bowl which hosts a variety of lunchtime concerts throughout the school year. In addition, the building houses classrooms, faculty offices, rehearsal space, a recording studio, and the Music Library.
The Department offers a variety of degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy, with many different specializations. As part of ongoing renovations, the Arts Library was moved to the main Library in 2016 and the space was converted into a Digital Arts & Humanities Commons.
