The MacLaurin building is home to UVic's education faculty and
school of music. The UVic curriculum lab contains more than 30,000
teaching tools and multi-media resources for creating lesson plans.
The David Lam Auditorium, located on the south side of the MacLaurin
building, hosts a number of lecture classes and is also the main
venue for several of the university's major public lecture series. The 323-seat lecture theatre was constructed in 1986.
The MacLaurin music wing was completed in 1978 and houses the 200-seat Phillip T. Young
recital hall, numerous practice rooms and a professional quality
recording studio.
