MidAmerica Nazarene University

Beautiful facility! We attended our daughters orchestra performance here. The acoustics and size were were well suited to our event.

This review is only for the Bell Cultural Events Center. I went to a concert by the Fountain City Brass Band last weekend. I heard that Bell was pretty new and nice. I was very excited to check it out! Walking in, there is a huge atrium with high ceilings. Everything is sparkling and new. There are etchings in the stone around the top of the building — maybe Bible verses? Not sure, but they were cool. Snack bar and ticket office are easily found. There are comfy chairs and couches for relaxing outside the auditorium. There are ample restrooms on both sides so you don’t have to wait for forever at intermission too!
The auditorium is really nice — big comfy chairs, and you can choose to sit in the bottom part or the top part, which is stadium seating. I chose this — score! The short girl didn’t have to be stuck behind someone tall. The seats are super comfy and roomy, not uncomfortable like a lot of auditoriums. The stage is nice and the acoustics are wonderful, which helped the brass band’s sound.
The snacks in the snack bar were only $ 1 each! Drinks too! It was a fundraiser, and I was surprised and happy to see it so cheap, as usually snack bars are super expensive.
I look forward to seeing another event here!

Having never attended this campus, I’ve visited and used it’s meeting rooms, every month, and dorm rooms every year, for my Embroidery Guild functions.
This campus is also used for little league sports and musicians, and other community features. It sits near I-​35 and Santa Fe Drive. The photogenic quality of this campus is truly worth the drive.
The buildings are red brick, and very clean. The parking is ample. The dorms are spacious, with bunk beds. Inside the dorm rooms are large shelving areas, a desk, with data outlets, and a closet.
The campus itself has free parking. It resembles a community park with openness and structural identity. It’s hard to believe that this is a college. Again, I’ve never attended a class there. When I have friends with me, and we are in the Olathe area, this is one setting I like to show people. Guests are always impressed.
One of the buildings has white columns with red brick, and the inside of the building (it might be where the chapel is located) stays sparkling clean. The buildings also have small circuit televisions listing activities throughout the college. It is very impressive to visit this campus. It is well taken care of.
