Fine Arts House

Students majoring in the College of Fine Arts can opt to live in the Fine Arts House.

The community has a strong partnership between the College of Fine Arts and the Residence Life office.

• Opportunities to network with College of Fine Arts faculty and alumni
• Student staff members in the College of Fine Arts
• Close location to Dalton Center and Richmond Center for Visual Arts
• The hall has four sound-proof practice rooms located on the floor and a large studio space in the basement for art, dance and theatre students

How do I sign up for the community?

During the online sign-up process you will be asked to select a special interest housing option. Simply select Fine Arts House as your preference and indicate Draper/Siedschlag Hall as your first choice. Space is limited after May 15, so list an additional three residence hall preferences. If you have a roommate preference, both you and your roommate must request each other in order to be matched in the community. If your requested roommate is not in the College of Fine Arts, we may not be able to place you together in the Fine Arts House if interest in the house is high.

Should I sign up if I have not auditioned yet?

Yes. If you are scheduled to audition for the College of Fine Arts, you can still sign up for the Fine Arts House. If you are not offered a position within the college, we will use your hall preferences to assign you a room outside of the Fine Arts House.

Current WMU students interested in living in the Fine Arts House should come to the Residence Life office to sign up.
