Formerly known as the Old Music Building. The 22,000-square-foot building was constructed in 1915 as an isolation ward for the original University Hospital. The facility was converted for use by the music department until 1971, when the Voxman Music Building was built. After that, parts of the building became graduate painting studios. Today, the ground floor houses the Carl E. Seashore Psychology Training Clinic, where students, under the supervision of faculty and staff, provide psychological assessments and therapy to the community. The first, second and third floors house lab space for clinical psychology faculty.
