PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — After more than 30 years of waiting, Pittsburg State University plans to officially open its new performing arts center.

The Bicknell Family Center for the Arts will open Sunday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the building.

The Joplin Globe reports the center will be the university’s first specific performance venue since 1978, when Carney Hall was closed and razed because of deterioration.

The $33 million performing arts center will include a 1,100-seat performance hall and a 2,000-square-foot art gallery. It also will offer a grand lobby, reception hall, multi-use rehearsal space and a 250-seat theater.
