Originally part of the Foulke and Long Institute along with the adjacent Morgan Building, and later incorporated into the University, this was the plainer of the two buildings, and it is set back slightly, marking the hierarchy within the original Institute. The Lerner Center has been completely renovated with a restoration of the original historic facade, while completely demolishing and rebuilding the interior and adding an expanded facility between Chancellor and Smith Walks, that reflects the modern needs of the Music Department.
