The Division of Corporate Communications & Public Affairs draws upon the
resources of both the Meadows School of the Arts and the larger University.
Classrooms and labs are located in the Umphrey Lee Center and the Owen Arts
Center and provide an environment for both lecture-style classes and hands-on
learning. Studio facilities provide opportunities for interaction with other
areas in the communication arts.
SMU students are provided wireless Internet access in all residence halls, libraries and dining facilities. Additionally, students have access to 40 computer labs in residence halls and academic buildings. A 24-hour computer lab is also located in the Hughes-Trigg Students Center.
The four-story Jake and Nancy Hamon Arts Library is adjacent to the Owen Arts Center and houses all arts library collections, a slide library, an audio/visual center, and the Center for Instructional Technology in the Arts. The G. William Jones Film and Video Collection, a part of the library's holdings, is housed in the Greer Garson Theatre's 3,800-square-foot refrigerated storage vault, with screening rooms also in the building. CCPA students also draw upon the holdings of the Business Information Center in the Edwin L. Cox School of Business.
The Meadows School boasts an impressive complex of academic, performance and exhibition spaces, among them the Bob Hope Theatre, a 392-seat proscenium house; the Greer Garson Theatre, a 354-seat thrust stage theatre; and the Margo Jones Theatre, a smaller black box performance space. Caruth Auditorium is a 490-seat concert hall which houses a 51-stop, 3681-pipe Fisk organ.
