The Music Building, a second home to countless music scholars, features 12 practice rooms, a recording studio, and a composition lab. Each room is supplied with beautifully maintained Steinway pianos and acoustic panels to absorb and deflect sound to enhance the experience of practicing. The building, a Santa Barbara County historic landmark, housed the Art Center and Reynolds Gallery beginning in 1986 and was remodeled in 2011. Architects restored the historic Deane School building to preserve its original exterior appearance. The former junior dormitory is one of several buildings on the lower part of campus that originally belonged to the Deane School for Boys, which operated from 1912 to 1933.
