Feel the excitement
The raucous cheers at an intense, action-packed basketball game … the ringing in your ears of the crowd at a sell-out concert … the pride you feel listening to the alma mater during a commencement ceremony.
All these experiences and more will be made possible in CMU’s proposed Events Center, which will transform the university’s existing Rose Center into a new, first-class complex serving the academic, athletic, and community needs of the university and citizens of central and northern Michigan.
The privately funded Events Center will include:
- Completely redesigned angular exterior and bright glazed-glass entrance
- 10,000 square-foot lobby and reception area
- Redesigned arena with upgraded comfortable seating for 5,300
- A new 12,000 square-foot practice facility
We invite you to share our vision to build a new gathering place for CMU students, faculty, staff, and community members alike. Together we will infuse the university with a new level of excitement and possibility.
