Architect Guy Carlander designed this administration building for Amarillo College. It was built in 1936-37 and later named for George Ordway, who with James Guleke obtained legislative authority to establish the school. The L-plan building consists of an auditorium and a long two-story classroom and office wing ending in a four-story tower. Geometric Art Deco style elements such as chevrons and parallel bands accent the buff brick and cast stone exterior. Sculpted Terra Cotta panels on the corners depict gnomes reading and writing. The words "Music", "Opera" and "Drama" are inscribed above the entry door. Interior materials include buff and red brick walls and terrazzo floors with diamond and mosaic patterns.
