The Dorothy Moses Morrison Chapel provides an intimate setting for solo recitals or smaller chamber groups. This facility showcases stained glass windows donated by Dorothy Moses Morrison. Equipped with an organ, upright piano and a Steinway grand piano, the Chapel is a favorite of many local artists for performances as well as college performers. The Chapel also doubles as the Choral Room.

The Barton Fine Arts Auditorium seats 840 patrons and recently expanded its staging surface area. Concerts, lectures, ballets, musicals, award ceremonies, etc. are typical uses for this hall. Fine sound, lighting, and video recording systems enhance the functionality of this Fine Arts building centerpiece.
