It also serves as the home of the Departments of Art, Music, Theatre, and Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at USU, and contains numerous practice rooms, lecture halls, and offices.

The 2,168-seat Newel & Jean Daines Concert Hall is the anchor and largest venue of the Chase Fine Arts Center, serving primarily as a performance space for orchestras, large bands, and choirs.

It is installed on the west wall of the concert hall in Holtkamp's signature functional, modern design aesthetic.

During two mornings each week, the orchestra section of the Daines Concert Hall serves as the classroom for the gigantic Creative Arts course taken as a general education requirement by nearly every USU student.

The Chase Fine Arts Center also houses a smaller venue called the Tippets Balcony, a 150-seat glass-enclosed recital space, and a Black Box Studio Theatre, which can seat up to 90 for extremely intimate productions.
