The Howard Music Building has changed its hours.
The building used to close at 11 p.m. but now has extended its evening hours to 12 a.m. The purpose of this extension is to accommodate students.
“Some of it’s just general courtesy,” said Rachel Jo Elliot, head monitor of Howard. “Shockingly enough, people actually come here at 11 o’clock at night and they want to practice. I was here last weekend and one guy left at midnight and he wanted to stay longer.”
Elliott also mentioned that some clubs and honoraries have also been meeting later at night, which also influenced the change.
“We’re offering this as a little bit of help there,” Elliott said.
However, the opening time for Howard hasn’t changed.
“We can only open as early as we have an actual faculty member here but we can close as long as there is a student [monitor] here,” said Elliott.
“Besides,” she added, “the adult faculty don’t want to have to get up any earlier.”
On the weekends, Howard opens alongside every other classroom building.
