Facilities

The Fletcher Center for Music received a wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling Link to Steinway & Sonsrenovation, as well as a considerable expansion, in recent years. With updated rehearsal and performance spaces, new classrooms, new practice and faculty studios, a new digital MIDI piano lab, and all new pianos (Oklahoma Christian is one of fewer than sixty All-Steinway colleges and universities nationwide), the department is equipped and ready to meet the needs of current and future music students.

Music groups utilize three principal performance venues in the Garvey Center: Hardeman Auditorium (1,184 seats), Judd Theatre (275 seats), and the Recital Hall (190 seats). Upon the reopening of the complex following renovations, one reviewer referred to this facility as "the most splendid fine arts complex in the entire state" (Edmond Evening Sun, November 7, 1999).
