FACILITIES

The Music Department is housed in the Paul W. Ogle Cultural and Community Center, located on the 177-acre Indiana University Southeast campus in suburban New Albany, Indiana. In addition to benefiting the educational mission of the University, the Center provides facilities for cultural and civic activities for people in Southern Indiana and the entire Greater Louisville region. Along with the performance venues, the Ogle Center contains the Ronald L. Barr Art Gallery, classrooms, practice rooms, teaching studios, an electronic music studio, and a music listening/computer instruction lab. Music Department performances take place in three performing spaces in the Ogle Center: the Richard K. Stem Concert Hall, Recital Hall, and the Robinson Theater.

Richard K. Stem Concert Hall The Richard K. Stem Concert Hall is the largest of the Ogle Center's indoor theaters. It is used primarily for performances of the Music Department, the Different Drummer Series and the Louisville Orchestra NightLites and OrKIDstra concerts. The Stem holds 500 seats including eight wheelchair locations. With only twelve rows in the orchestra and six in the balcony, each seat provides a clear, unobstructed view of the stage.	Recital Hall The Recital Hall, holding 96 seats, creates an intimate performance and presentation space for the community. Like the Richard K. Stem Concert Hall, this hall has a large projection screen and has teleconferencing capability. The Recital Hall is used for faculty and student recitals, community meetings and conferences.	Robinson Theater The Robinson Theater has a dramatic atmosphere that's unmatched. With its thrust stage, seven-story fly space and hidden trap doors, this space lends itself well to the IU Southeast Theatre Department productions, Opera/Musical Theatre Workshop, and Dance Recitals. The Robinson Theater has 338 seats and three wheelchair locations in a conventional aisle-seating configuration.

Containing a high-end computer loaded with recording and sequencing software, digital recording and editing equipment, and state-of-the-art synthesizers, it will certainly become the focal point for those students who realize the necessity of becoming more technologically proficient

Listening and Computer Instruction Lab
The Listening and Computer Instruction Lab caters to the specific needs of the music student, providing three computer music workstations complete with music notation and aural skills training software, six listening workstations, and one video workstation for students to use in the course of completing their homework. It also contains a collection of course reserves, reference materials, and sound and video recordings for student and faculty use.

Studios and Teaching Spaces
