Originally built in 1890 as an orphanage, the Lerner Center (formerly known as the Music Building) was purchased by the University in the early 1900's.
A modern renovation resulted in an expanded facility that reflects the needs of the Music department and restored the historic structure. The addition to the east houses faculty offices, classrooms, and practice rooms.
