In order to support the growing needs of the music, visual arts and theater departments at Kent State University Stark Campus, Hasenstab Architects designed an addition, as well as renovations, to the existing Fine Arts building.

The music department includes introductory and advanced level live recording studios with control rooms and isolation booths. The music department also includes practice rooms, a piano lab, music theory and musicology classrooms, a tiered concert band practice space, percussion ensemble space, offices and a student lounge.
