Oral Roberts University Media Arts Center
A New Legacy in the Creative Arts
Located on the North side of campus, the Media Arts Center will be home to ORU’s theatre, dance, music, and digital media departments. This new building will give students access to a 450-seat proscenium arched auditorium, along with a 144-seat music performance hall, and a 100-seat Black Box Theater. The performance spaces will provide dual functionality, also serving as teaching spaces. The new building will also house faculty offices and support space for students. These include a green room, rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms, and a costume shop. The dance department will have access to new rehearsal studios. Film and media students will study in state-of-the-art technology spaces, including a new digital production studio, AR/AV studio, and control room. Music students will have access to orchestra, choral, and practice rooms.
The new Media Arts Center expresses ORU’s unwavering mission to produce the highest quality education and training for next-generation artists. Audiences will have the privilege of experiencing aspiring students in theatre, music, dance, and media.
