The Crowley Family Center for the Media & Arts

The Center for Media and the Arts is a state of the art, seventeen room facility, in support of activities and classes in Music, Art, Theater, Graphic Design, Publications, Video, Photography, and Sound Recording Technology. It is a $300,000 facility which opened in September 2000. The Graphic Design studio is equipped with new Mac G4 computers and the latest professional design software, as well as a photo darkroom.

Within the seventeen rooms is a six-room professional, digital recording studio. It is fully equipped with digital and analog sound equipment, and can be interfaced with video editing and web equipment. The Center is unique in Western New York on a high school level based upon the design and configuration of the rooms as well as the inherent technology. Timon is one of a handful of high schools in the United States equipped with a digital recording studio. It is the only high school in Western New York with this equipment. A professional recording engineer is on the faculty.

Four of the rooms in the Center are designed and equipped for one-on-one instruction involving classes of six to eight students each.

General Art and Music/Drama classrooms have been constructed with new equipment, furniture, instruments, and lighting systems. The Music/Drama classroom also serves as a mini-theatre for rehearsals and performances, and a ceramics kiln, Video Editing Studio, Student Art Gallery, Outdoor Sculpture Court, Publications Studio, and Theatre Production Studio can be found within the Center.

One major musical Theatre production is presented each year in Timon's 700 seat auditorium as well as one drama production each year.
