'''Henry G. Harmon Fine Arts Center'''

'''[[File:025.JPG|left|Harmon]]Introduction'''
Sitting perfectly on Drake University’s campus, the Henry G. Harmon Fine Arts Center is a building constructed for learning, self-expression and entertainment. And it does just that, many students from around the world, walk into the structure and are inspired to sing, act, and play instruments.
'''Ground Breaking'''
The ground-breaking for the Fine Arts Center (not dedicated to Dr. Harmon, yet) was held on June 12, 1970. The rain stopped just long enough for the, $6,100,000 project to start at 1:30 in the afternoon. Many were in attendance, Drake trustees, faculty, students, administrative and clerical staff and special guests, to see the beginning of a massive addition to Drake University. [1] The ground-breaking lead the way for Harry Weese and Associates’ design of the 130,000 square foot building to be built. The building was constructed from 1970-1972. [2][[File:Henry_harmon.jpg|right|Henry]]
'''Opening'''
Opened October 21, 1972, the Drake University Fine Arts Center was a massive labyrinth that had its opening with a ceremony on the Sculpture Court. Presenting at the opening ceremony was Dr. Wilbur C. Miller, Drake President; Dr. Paul J. Jackson, dean of the College of Fine Arts, and David Kruidenier, chairman of Drake’s board of trustees. There was the presentation of honorary degrees to two alumni, as well. After the ceremony, tours were given of the giant Fine Arts Center. [3]
'''Dedication to Henry G. Harmon'''The Fine Arts Center was dedicated to Henry G. Harmon on October 6th, 1974 with a formal ceremony and concert. [4] By decision from the board of trustees, Drake University named the fine arts facility in remembrance of the late Dr. Henry G. Harmon, seventh president of Drake. [5] “Naming the fine arts facility in Dr. Harmon’s memory reflects the affection felt for him but the University’s Board of Trustees as well as others on the Drake community and in Des Moines,” Dr. Wilbur C. Miller, Drake President said. He also added that “this action by the University’s trustees is a tribute to Henry Harmon’s ability and contribution to the development of Drake University as well as to his many cultural and service achievements in this city.” After October 6th, 1974, the fine arts facility was known as the Henry G. Harmon Fine Arts Center. [6]

'''[[File:027.JPG|left|Statue]]The Modern Day Henry G. Harmon Fine Arts Center'''After obvious renovations to the Fine Arts Center due to age, the Harmon FAC still looks as beautiful as the day it was completed. Today, the H.G. Harmon Fine Arts Center is more commonly referred to as the FAC building. It houses the greater part of the Music Department, Theatre Arts Department and the Department of Art and Design. The H.G.H. Fine Arts Center has 3 theatres: the Studio Theatre, the Monroe Recital Hall and The Hall of Performing Arts.
The Hall of Performing Arts, which seats 460 people, is the central feature of the Fine Arts Center. It houses the Holtkampe Concert Organ, which is a 3 manual console organ controlling 3,000 pipes with 39 stops and 51 ranks. [7]The H.G. Harmon Fine Arts Center contains 22 major classrooms, for focused teaching in the arts. It has extensive rehearsal facilities for instrumental, operatic and choral ensembles. It has theory and music education classrooms, 26 applied studios and 58 practice studios. The Fine Arts Center also houses the Anderson Gallery, the Carl and Edith Weeks Gallery and the Schloss Lounge, where many students and professional artists display their artwork. [8]
