In 1970, the Seminary built Cooke Hall in order to house the School of Church Music. Cooke Hall, which is attached to Alumni Chapel, provides offices, classrooms, a recital hall, and practice rooms for the school and its students. It was named after trustee V. V. Cooke, who purchased the seminary’s first building for the study of church music, which now serves as the President’s home. Cooke Hall was enlarged in 1985, and it presently houses administrative offices of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism, and Ministry.
