Harris Fine Arts Center

The De Jong Concert Hall was the largest room in the HFAC. It was named for Gerrit de Jong, Jr. who was the first dean of the College of Fine Arts at BYU. The hall has a seating capacity of 1269.[7][8] It was used for most concerts, both by choral groups and symphonic groups[9] as well as many musicals, operas and dance performances. It was also used during the spring and summer terms for the weekly university devotionals. While most concerts at the de Jong were by BYU groups, outside groups such as the Utah Symphony also performed there.[10]

Events at the de Jong not only generated articles in the BYU paper but were also mentioned in Salt Lake City publications such as the Deseret News[11] and the Salt Lake Tribune[12] as well as in independent Latter-day Saint oriented magazines such as Meridian Magazine.[13]

The hall was so central to the school of music's operations that studies aimed at getting ideal sound quality in the hall have been published by the Audio Engineering Society.[14]

The de Jong hall was designed by Harvey Fletcher.[15]

Located right next to the de Jong Concert hall this room was used for rehearsals of student produced operas. It was named for B. Cecil Gates.

This was a three level gallery, most of the space being on the main floor with the two higher floors opening onto the main floor. Besides being used for various art displays, it served as the lobby for most of the main theatres, such as the Pardoe, the Madsen Recital Hall and the de Jong Concert Hall.

The Larsen Art Gallery was also periodically used as a site for dances.

The Larsen Art Gallery has been used for presentations by the BYU Conservation Laboratory of Fine Art.[16]

The Larsen Gallery was rated as one of the best art galleries in Provo.[17]

The Franklin and Florence Jepperson Madsen Recital Hall accommodated choral group practices during the week. It was also used for solo and chamber productions by students, faculty and even at times visiting groups.

The Madsen Recital Hall was the main location of the 2005 Primrose International Viola Competition, sponsored by the American Viola Society.[18]

This room of slightly more than 700 square feet (65 m²) was designed for short showings of a broad variety of art objects.

This theatre was designed so that seating and acting can occur in any part of the room.

Besides being used for theatre productions, this theatre was also at times used for the College of Fine Arts and Communications Thursday forums.

This theatre seated 509 people and was designed in a tradition proscenium stage setup.

The Laycock Endowment began in 2003 and works to connect students with actual projects for clients, that normally involve inter-disciplinary cooperation. From 2011-2016 the Laycock Center for Creative Collaboration in the Arts (created to house the endowment work) operated as an official center in the College of Fine Arts and Communications. The Center included work for various BYU entities, and a reading application developed for the US Library of Congress.[19]
