Located in the south end of Old Main, Western's ivy-covered administration building on the north-east side of campus. The main portions of Old Main were completed between 1896 and 1907 as Bellingham Normal School. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The addition which houses the theater was part of a renovation which took place in 1971. The entrance to the Old Main Theatre is at ground level.

Down a ramp next to the Old Main Theater entrance is Western's rose garden, nestled between Old Main and the Humanities building. The garden's brick plaza features the India outdoor sculpture, and splits off into separate walkways which lead through campus.
