History<\/h3>\n

Opened in 1960, the Fine Arts Building consolidated the\u00a0Department of Music<\/strong>,\u00a0Department of Art<\/strong>, and the\u00a0Department of Foreign Languages<\/strong> into one building. The building’s distinctive look was created using solar block to keep the building cool.\u00a0 In 1982, the Elise N. Hofheimer Art Library was added. The building was renamed the Visual Arts Building in 1991 after a substantial renovation. The building was renovated again from 2013-2014 to make way for the newly dedicated Strome Entrepreneurial Center on the first floor.<\/p>\n
