Enid Performing Arts & Athletics Center
Enid, Oklahoma
In 2020 Enid Public Schools unveiled its Performing Arts and Athletics Center (PAAC) on the Enid High School campus. This multipurpose facility integrates several athletic and academic programs and provides additional classroom space for the campus. Serving four separate functions, the building coalesces branded spaces for the athletics, music, digital media, and theater departments.
The PAAC provides practice areas for the school’s indoor athletics programs—basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and spirit squads. The arena has more than 2,000 seats and two concession spaces for events. East-facing glass stairwells serve the gymnasium’s upper-level seating, showcasing the activity taking place within the building—an inviting feature that welcomes the entire community.
An acoustically isolated music department promotes the school’s award-winning band, orchestra, and choir programs. New practice rooms, department offices, and climate-controlled equipment storage meet the program’s technical requirements, providing a necessary upgrade for one of the top music programs in the state. Drama and digital media departments feature a black box theater, production studio, scene shop, classrooms, dressing rooms, media control booths, and video editing bays.
