Facilities

The Douglas and Beatrice Covington Center for Visual and Performing Arts is a state-of-the-art performing and rehearsal facility. Inside, you'll find the extraordinary Davis Performance Hall, a 350-seat concert and audio/video recording hall with adjustable acoustics that utilizes the same technology used in the renovation of Zankel Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City. 

Radford University has been designated an “All Steinway School,” and our facilities are equipped with their finest pianos. The Bondurant Auditorium in Preston Hall, another performance venue, is also equipped with a Steinway concert grand piano and a magnificent 54 rank Mohler pipe organ. All instruments are maintained regularly by licensed technicians year round.

There are also three spaces that mirror the acoustics of the performance hall; separate large instrumental and choral rehearsal rooms and a smaller chamber rehearsal hall - all multimedia equipped. Additionally,  several faculty offices, Wegner and standard practice rooms, lockers and a student lounge. The other side of the building features the spectacular Scartelli Atrium and the Radford University Art Museum.

In fall of 2024, the new Artis Center for Adaptive Innovation and Creativity will enter the equation. This remarkable complex will include new multimedia equipped classrooms, studios, performance and collaboration spaces and a new theater!
