The original building accommodates the Art and Theatre programs with sky lit art studios, the Black Box Theatre and NKU Corbett Theatre, two art galleries, dance studios, classrooms and faculty offices/studios. The expansion constructed immediately adjacent to the east and north facades of the existing building accommodates the Department of Music with the 637-seat Greaves Concert Hall, band room, choir room, faculty studios, practice rooms, and other instructional spaces.

The NKU's theater program was named Best in the Midwest by The Cincinnati Enquirer in 2004.
