Fine Arts Center
In 2001, the UNF Department of Music moved to its new home, a state-of-the-art performing arts complex.

The new Fine Arts Center includes the Lazzara Performance Hall, which seats 1,400 guests for major events, an intimate 200 seat recital hall, four large rehearsal rooms, 44 individual practice rooms, and specially designed teaching studios and classrooms.

In addition to providing supportive, cutting-edge resources for the practicing musician, the Center is often home to world-renowned visiting artists such as Kathleen Battle and Dave Brubeck, who might be seen just as easily in an impromptu 1-on-1 teaching situation as they could on the concert stage.

Lazzara Performance Hall
The 1,300-seat Lazzara Performance Hall, inside the UNF Fine Arts Center, is named for Gasper and Irene Lazzara, prominent civic leaders who donated $1.25 million to the performance hall’s funding.

The fully-equipped theatre has hi-tech lighting, sound and acoustics—and is the second largest stage in the area. It is the perfect venue.

The lobby is equipped with two concession areas, contemporary furnishings, modern lighting accents and an intriguing sculpture installation entitled Aurora. It can accommodate 200-300 comfortably.
