The Center for the Performing Arts facilities consist of the Milton S. Eisenhower Auditorium and the Charles S. Schwab Auditorium, located on the University Park Campus of The Pennsylvania State University. University Park, Pennsylvania is located in the middle of the state, adjacent to the Borough of State College, at the convergence of U.S. Route 322, Interstate 99/U.S. Route 220 and PA Route 26, just south of Interstate 80. The University can be easily accessed from Interstate 80, by following either Route 322 East from the Woodland exit or Interstate 99/Route 220 South from the Bellefonte exit.
