We attended this years high school state championship for symphonic band and absolutely love the theater. Hundreds of local art pieces adorn the foyer which can be purchased and the proceeds all go to programs at OSU. And of course there is beauty of Oregon throughout the campus.

Had a blast at the LaSells Center. Neat, clean, and well organized event. Highly recommend catching Brandon Marsalis in concert if you get a chance! All the quartet were super friendly, funny, and entertaining! Can’t wait to surprise my wife with another trip to Corvallis to see these guys in concert again. Go Ducks!!!

A fantastic treasure on the Oregon State campus across from Reser Stadium. Hosts lectures, concerts, art exhibits, etc.

Large, clean, not really anything to criticize about this auditorium. There is regular ground and balcony seating. The acoustics are pretty good.

Attended the OSU Small Farms Conference here in February. A really nicely laid out conference center with plenty of parking next door in the stadium lot.

Really nice auditorium/concert hall and the upkeep is very clear. The greenery around the building is also really pretty too. They always host the high school state band competitions and there has never been complaints about the location. The rooms can get a little cramped when fitting bands into them, but I understand that that is not their original purpose.

Ive attended several events at La Sells Stewart Center, and the am consistently impressed by the care out into events and the quality of experience produced by OSU Conference Services and their vendors.I must admit, though, I am prejudiced as OSU is my Alma Mater.

Great place for conferences or band/performance venues. Because I am in a choir, I see the *other* side of the center, and it is a great place to perform, with a nice stage and plenty of room to prepare in or have exhibits. There is lovely local art lining the walls of the lobby, which adds a great touch. The staff are definitely helpful and I highly recommend this place for a performance or conference. Also great seats and visibility.Enjoy :)

Attended the Oregon State H.S. band contest. On the OSU campus and therefore parking at a premium ( we paid $10 at the parking structure to the north of LaSells. Enjoyed our visit and the facility. Only wished they had a snack bar on site....

There are some places about the center that are constantly being updated (like the art exhibits in the lobby), but some things like seats and one set of bathrooms feel outdated and uncomfortable. In the auditorium itself there is always a slight static noise coming from the speakers that, once you notice it, can be quite distracting from the incredible performers they host. This has been consistent across all the performances Ive attended, and its a little bit disappointing that they cant seem to find a fix. In other words, a little bit of updating wouldnt do it any harm, but dont be discouraged from attending concerts because of its flaws.

Not many multipurpose, large venues in Corvallis...and although parking is an issue, LaSells-Stewart Center is very nice when you plan on 500-1000 attendees. One large theater with smaller rooms available. Good size lobby for mingling and displays. Dedicated catering/concessions space would be a great addition.

Amazing place for official large scale school events such as India Night, OSU Orientations, Careerfairs, etc. The environment is welcoming and constantly a bit different. Although sometimes it may get too crowded and lines go all the way out to the street when its a wait in line kind of event.

Its tricky to get the venue right for the number of participants at any given lecture. Austin Auditorium seemed underfilled, but moving into an Alumni breakout room was too crowded for most presentations.

The LaSells Stewert Center is just down from Reser Stadium and the OSU Bookstore, and it hosts many events and fascinating lectures. It has a lot of comfortable seating, and has bathroom facilities.This center is thanks, in large part, to the donations of the Stewart family, who gave the money in memory of LaSells Stewart.According to Wikepedia, LaSells Stewart attended Oregon State University, was the owner of the Bohema Lumber Company, spent much of his life volunteering for the Parks and Recreation Department, and served as a representative of Oregons District 14. He was born in 1911, and died in 2005.
