The Moss Performing Arts Center, named for local Mesa State College supporters John and Angie Moss, provides music, dance and theatre students with the facilities needed to let their creativity shine. The Center, which recently underwent a $5.1 million renovation and expansion, is home to the 600-seat William S. Robinson Theatre, a 300-seat recital hall, the Walter Walker Reception Area, an experimental theatre, a design studio, numerous music practice rooms, smart technology classrooms, faculty offices and much more.

The Moss Performing Arts Center itself is built around a small courtyard known as Lucy’s Garden, a tribute to the legendary actress Lucille Ball. Lucy’s Garden provides student and faculty alike with a place to relax and enjoy the fresh Colorado air, all without ever having to leave the Center.
