[1] Designed by Spokane architect J. K. Dow, Bryan Hall was originally used as the college library and gathering space; the building was dedicated in 1909.
[7] Bryan Hall Theatre, a 778-seat vaudeville-style performance space, is currently under the jurisdiction of the WSU School of Music.
Though the theater was at one point used as a general university classroom, in 2008 the space was assigned to the School of Music and is no longer used for classes.
In early 2019, Washington governor Jay Inslee gave a talk on global climate change in the auditorium.

Several accounts of organ music with no organist, the former president’s rocking chair moving on its own, and the sensation of a sudden cold and damp feeling have been recorded from students and faculty, most stories independently.
Some claim that the events stopped occurring after the drama department was moved to Daggy Hall – whether it was the decreased activity of late-night workers in the building or due to Bryan leaving is unknown.
Bryan Hall is equipped with a Maas-Rowe digital carillon which has traditionally chimed the hour in addition to sounding evening concerts by university staff and students.
