All large spaces in Bucksbaum require special arrangements for AV and speaker systems if desired for presentation purposes, however the classrooms are equipped with AV.
Bucksbaum also is home to the Faulconer Gallery, featuring fine art exhibits throughout the year. While the gallery is not available for rent, special arrangements may be made for tours, and we invite you to visit while you are on campus.
Cathedral ceilings, carved wood and rows of pew seating give Herrick Chapel an impressive aura.
