In the center, there are electronic piano labs, five organs, more than fifty practice rooms, faculty studios, the Music Library, and the Center for Music Technology. The Music Library's collection contains more than 62,000 books, scores, periodicals, and media materials representative of all types and periods of music.

In spring of 2007, the A.J. Fletcher Music Center was expanded by the addition of a first-floor wing. New to this wing is a classroom that is observable, new percussion practice rooms, a new large rehearsal hall and small ensemble rehearsal hall. The latter two examples have microphones connected to a recording room in between both rehearsal rooms. With the addition of the new wing, the rehearsal halls count have been raised to two large rehearsal halls and a smaller rehearsal hall.
