A performing arts center, a conference center, an educational center, a major downtown restoration project – these are all accurate ways to describe the MSU Riley Center. More than just a stunning facility, the Center is a special place for social interaction, to enjoy the arts, engage in lifelong learning, and stimulate community growth and development.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Meridian, the MSU Riley Center opened its doors in September 2006 to offer cultural, artistic, and educational experiences like no other in the region. The multifaceted center attracts 60,000+ visitors to downtown Meridian annually for conferences, meetings, and performances. The center includes a fully restored 1889 grand opera house theater that seats approximately 950, a 200-seat studio theatre, and 30,000 square feet of meeting space, including a large exhibit hall, break out rooms and board rooms, all equipped with teleconferencing capabilities and built-in technical features to create the optimal meeting environment.

DIRECTIONS:

Conveniently located in the southeast with Memphis to the north, New Orleans and the Gulf Coast to the south, Atlanta to the east, and Little Rock to the west, Meridian and the MSU Riley Center is located at the intersection of Interstates I-20 & I-59 and benefits from a local airport with jet service and Amtrak service.
