TCC Thomas K. Mckeon Center For Creativity

The Thomas K. McKeon Center for Creativity is such a great space for learners and creatives on top of being a cool space for events of any kind. On the education side, it houses the TCC Visual Arts, Digital Media and Design, and Mass Communication programs. On the art side, they have different initiatives and programs that promote inspiration, education and collaboration such as art exhibits, installations and education programs. On the event side, I've attended presentations, fundraisers, and other social events. The event hall is a wonderful venue with ample space, parking, professional lighting/sound, and a kitchen. The 9th Street Observation Deck and the Boston Avenue Terrace are my favorite spots. They have a great view of downtown and offer an outdoor venue. It is also Oklahoma's award-winning first "green" sustainable rooftop. The facilities rental prices are all on their website and the staff is great to deal with, always very accommodating and taking health precautions seriously. I have also been very impressed with how they've pivoted due to COVID and continue making things happen. From online galleries and exhibits to virtual workshops, I've loved the versatility! My favorite workshops are the "I Can't" series offered at no cost to the public multiple times throughout the year.

I love this place and not just because it's where I work. I'm the Business Manager of The TCC Connection which is the college's newspaper on the third floor. The center houses the journalism, digital media, and art majors. The first floor is where the podcasting studio is located. Most of the classes are located on the third floor, along with The TCC Connection. The art students typically showcase their work on the walls for all to enjoy.The outside of the building is glass covered and very modern. My desk is next to a window, overlooking the original campus.I love being a part of TCC and working in such a nice building! It makes me feel proud to go to work.

This building is very unique to the Metro campus of Tulsa Community College. Everything in it is modern. The bottom floor houses the broadcasting department (tv and radio). The newsroom and radio room are professional in appearance and performance. It is easy to feel like you are in a bonafide network. The first floor includes a conference room that features floor to ceiling windows. They rent it out for various events which keeps things interesting. The second floor is the mezzanine. This is a very nice place to sit and study or hang out with friends/classmates. It is open to the outside. The third floor contains art classrooms for all media; painting, photography, etc... Also, Included on the third floor is the Connection, the schools newspaper office and an outdoor sitting area. The fourth floor is dedicated to administration. Overall, this is a pleasant place to take classes, study, work and relax. Wifi is available.
