The McKnight Center for the Performing Arts at Oklahoma State University is a state-of-the-art facility that encourages discovery, pushes educational boundaries, and redefines Oklahoma State’s influence in the arts with world-class programming that is unique to the region. Built by Manhattan, designed by Beck, and engineered by Walter P Moore, this 65,000-square-foot, one-of-a-kind project consists of a 1,200-seat auditorium, a 217-seat recital hall, a lobby, and support areas. The site has an exterior amphitheater with state-of-the-art display and sound adjacent to University Street, a main corridor of campus.
