A BRIEF HISTORY
Beach Music Hall, originally constructed in 1926, was completely renovated in 1997-98. The original building houses administrative offices, classrooms, Heath Recital Hall, Hendricks Computer Laboratory, faculty studios, and practice rooms. A new addition to the north of Beach Music Hall, The Shepherd Music Center, houses the choral and instrumental rehearsal rooms, percussion studio, and the digital audio recording center. David Emig of Emig and Associated, Emporia, served as the project architect.
