Facilities

The CCM Village is primarily housed in four buildings:

• Corbett Center for the Performing Arts
• Dieterle Vocal Arts Center
• Mary Emery Hall
• Memorial Hall

In 2017-18, CCM completed a $15 million infrastructure project to upgrade the overall technology of its performance venues and advance the student experience. CCM's state-of-the-art facilities provide students with professional-level working and learning environments to prepare them for future careers.

The initial completion of CCM's "campus village" in 1999 – a $93.2 million, seven-year project – significantly enhanced the college's teaching and performance capabilities. The renovated complex stressed the synergy between the performing and media arts while effectively accommodating CCM's vast performance calendar. CCM’s ample performance facilities include the 663-seat Corbett Auditorium, the 378-seat Patricia Corbett Theater, the flexible Cohen Family Studio Theater, the 250-seat Robert J. Werner Recital Hall and the 140-seat Watson Recital Hall.
