Dalton Center
Western Michigan University's School of Music is housed in the Dorothy U. Dalton Center, which offers some of the finest music rehearsal, study, practice and performance spaces in the world. Adjacent to the nationally recognized James W. Miller Auditorium, the Dalton Center boasts 157,000 square feet of space—the equivalent of 4.5 football fields.
Its distinctive spaces include two recital halls, a multitrack digital recording studio, an electronic music laboratory, a 10,000 square foot music library, a state-of-the-art multimedia room, a music therapy clinic, a computer lab featuring Mac workstations (each equipped with a M-Audio keyboard workstation), and one of the world's largest installations of prefabricated, sound-isolated practice rooms and teaching studios.
