Merriam Theater was built in 1918. It was originally named for Sam S. Shubert.However, It was renamed in 1991 for John W. Merriam, a Philadelphia developer and a friend of the University of the Arts, the theatre's new owner. This Theater had 1,790-seating capacity.This superb theater was designed by the famous architect Herbert Krapp who already had earned great reputation by designing the wonderful Forrest Theatre.

Over the past 65 years, the Fine Arts Building at the University of Montana has housed the student union and classrooms, but the most impressive portion of the building has always been the University Theatre.

The University Theatre opened in November 1935. Students were delighted when they could finally occupy the building they had been waiting for since 1928. The official opening, its dedication ceremony, musical entertainment, speeches and a dance kicked off Homecoming Weekend on November 22, six months after the death of President Charles H. Clapp, who had been one of the building's greatest supporters.

In 1956 the University opened a new student union and the existing building became home to the art and drama departments.It was renamed as Fine Arts Building after having been called the Arts and Crafts Building for a year.
