Harris Fine Arts Center

The HFAC was inaugurated in 1964 and was designed by architect William Pereira[1] in the modernist style popular at the time of its construction.

The building was notable for its dramatic multi-floor, open, interior atrium that served as an exhibition gallery and an acoustically-resonate space for occasional concerts.

The open design of the patios maximized natural light to multiple wings and created exterior workspaces for students.

The building had seven pipe organs that were considered to be amongst the most notable in Utah, the oldest of which dates back to 1970, although it had been largely rebuilt.

[10] Events at the de Jong not only generated articles in the BYU paper but were also mentioned in Salt Lake City publications such as the Deseret News[11] and the Salt Lake Tribune[12] as well as in independent Latter-day Saint oriented magazines such as Meridian Magazine.

[17] The Franklin and Florence Jepperson Madsen Recital Hall accommodated choral group practices during the week.

[18] This room of slightly more than 700 square feet (65 m2) was designed for short showings of a broad variety of art objects.

The Laycock Endowment began in 2003 and works to connect students with actual projects for clients, that normally involve inter-disciplinary cooperation.
