Statement of Urgency of Need a. In order to meet the standards of the National Association of Schools of Music, 125 practice rooms would be required for the present enrollment. There are 69 available for this purpose. At present, 61 office-studios are used by 81 staff members for instruction in applied music. Ten additional spaces of this kind are urgently needed. Seventy per cent of the total program is carried on in temporary facilities not designed for this purpose. b. The School of Music has 16 practice rooms (2,800 net square feet) and 15 office-studios (2,398 net square feet) in the properties a t 606, 6o6yi, and 608 South Mathews Avenue. It will be necessary to relocate these activities when an addition to the East Chemistry Building is constructed, if located as suggested by t h a t Department. The net square feet included in the proposed addition to Smith Music Hall is sufficient to enable the School of Music to meet t h e standards for practice rooms and office-studios, replace the facilities lost if the above-mentioned properties are razed, and provide expansion for their inadequate library facilities.
