| in 1967, through the construction of a two-story
addition. The mediated classroom, new studio offices, and a
skylit connecting corridor were created through new construction,
and all existing space in Pratt and Hammond was renovated. Other
improvements include soundproofing instructional and performance
spaces, consolidation of the music and dance libraries, the
creation of a lounge area, and air-conditioning. Pratt's auditorium

Built in 1909, the Pratt Memorial Music Hall was named for
the parents of Ella Pratt Houghton (class of 1867). In 1967,
it was remodeled and the Hammond Wing was added.
