Colorful West Mountain stone adds extra verve to a well-modeled Beaux-Arts composition that was designed to complement the Albright Library ( LK21) across Vine Street. The front entrance is enlivened with iron grillework. Langley's additions included the building's auditorium (now the Mellow Theater), which is the interior's most significant space.
