Facilities & Performance Space
RiverPark Campus
Columbus State's art and theatre complex is the latest of a string of University projects that have helped revitalize the Columbus' downtown area. Most efforts are centered on the University's Music, Theatre & Dance, and Art Departments, creating a downtown Fine and Performing Arts campus that may be unequaled, both in terms of facilities and in terms of community impact.
