Description | In the 1950s, University administrators undertook a number of efforts to both relieve population pressures on the university and modernize the campus grounds. The construction of the Hall of Music in 1955 was an example of these modernizing efforts. Up until this time, musical classes and rehearsals were limited to the Practical Arts Building. With the erection of the Hall of Music, the administration modernized musical study and rehearsal by providing a center where one could engage in these activities in a more serious manner. The building served the university in this capacity until the late 1970s when the School of Journalism and BGNews occupied it and construction ended on the new Moore Musical Arts building. Currently, the Key offices, School of Journalism, BGNews, and WFAL and WBGU radio stations reside in the building. Listed below are additional highlights in the history of the building:
