Our Facilities
Fresno State is home to one of the most modern and extensive
music facilities in the 23 campus CSU system. The new 65,000 square foot
expansion Music Building, completed in 1991, combined with an extensive remodeling
of the existing facility ensures students enjoy all the advantages a modern
facility enjoys. The building houses the 320 seat Concert Hall, the 100 seat
Whalberg Recital Hall, a 220 seat Rehearsal Hall, as well as over 30 practice
rooms, classrooms, a large dance studio, faculty office space, a conference
room, student lounge, and 700 student lockers. The building also contains
two digital recording studios, computer labs, MIDI and electronic
music labs, and a tracker-action organ.
