Facilities
A wide array of specialized facilities has been developed to enhance the education, performances, exhibitions and research of the students and faculty in the College of Fine Arts.

The primary facilities of the college include:

Digital Worlds Institute
Founded in 2001, Digital Worlds Institute is an interdisciplinary partnership between the colleges of Fine Arts and Engineering. The Institute includes three leading-edge research and teaching visualization laboratories on the UF campus: the NAVE Lab in the Computer Science building; the MAV Lab in Aerospace Engineering; and the REVE in fully renovated historic Norman Gym. The 6,000-square-foot Research, Education and Visualization Environment (REVE) lab includes a Polymodal Immersive Theatre, a Virtual Production Studio, A Digital Media Suite, and the Big REVE Image Generator.

Fine Arts Complex
This complex consists of four buildings situated along 13th Street on the east side of the UF campus. The complex houses the Dean’s Office, the college’s main administrative unit; the majority of the Art and Art History classrooms, studios and administrative offices; the art and architecture library, and two of college’s three galleries: the University Gallery and the Focus Gallery. The Grinter Gallery is located a few steps from the complex, in the lobby of Grinter Hall.

Music Complex
The Music complex, which includes the Steinbrenner Band Hall and the University Auditorium, centers on the Music Building. The offices, classrooms, library and studios for the School of Music’s classical and popular music programs including the orchestra, choral groups, world music ensembles and opera are housed in this building.

Steinbrenner Band Hall
Located adjacent to the Music Building, Steinbrenner Band Hall provides a 5,600-square-foot rehearsal space for the marching band, a band library, instrument and uniform storage, administrative offices, a conference room and two large lobby areas. The lower level of the building has also been designated a public disaster shelter.

University Auditorium and the adjacent Century Tower
Managed by affiliate University of Florida Performing Arts, the University Auditorium’s Gothic architectural features include a majestic vaulted wooden ceiling in which gargoyles adorn a series of beautifully curved beams. Located at the heart of the UF campus near the Plaza of the Americas, the auditorium houses additional faculty offices and serves as a concert hall for the School of Music. The beautiful 900-seat auditorium, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, houses the Anderson Memorial Organ, one of the largest and most sophisticated of its kind in the Southeast, and a unique resource for performance and instruction. Century Tower, a 157-foot-tall tower constructed in memory of students killed in World War I and World War II, houses a 61-bell carillon.

Nadine McGuire Theatre and Dance Pavilion
This 46,000-square foot facility, built in 2004, is the home of the college’s School of Theatre and Dance, the renovated 415-seat Constans Theatre and a state-of-the-art 200-seat Black Box Theatre. The exquisitely beautiful building features a soaring glass atrium at its center which is surrounded by classrooms; three dance and four acting studios; large scene and costume shops with natural lighting; computer, design and lighting labs; physical therapy and dressings rooms; and offices for faculty and staff.

Libraries
Architecture and Fine Arts Library
The Architecture and Fine Arts Library houses more than 90,000 books, tapes and drawings, and more than 650 periodicals relating to fine art, architecture, and design.

Music Library
The Music Library houses the university's major collection of monographs, scores, periodicals, sound recordings and videos dealing with music, amounting to more than 35,000 cataloged titles.

University Galleries
The University Gallery is dedicated to an exhibition program with an emphasis on contemporary art, for the primary purpose of serving the department's teaching and research needs. The gallery originates important exhibitions of regional, national and international art, hosts traveling exhibitions and mounts exhibitions of SAAH generated works. Included in these are the Annual Art Faculty Exhibition, the MFA Thesis Exhibitions, the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition, and other periodic group and one-person faculty exhibitions.

The Grinter Galleries are located in Grinter Hall. The exhibitions presented here are related to academic programming with an emphasis on international arts.

The Focus Gallery is a space adjacent to the office area of the School of Art and Art History. Under the supervision of the University Gallery, this area displays student and faculty art as well as small, invitational one-person exhibitions, on a monthly basis.

All three of the above exhibition programs are intimately associated with the school's teaching curricula. The galleries are located conveniently close to classroom activities.
