CHK|Central Boathouse

The CHK|Central Boathouse will serve as home to the University of Central Oklahoma’s women’s rowing team, and will also include a live music venue and an art gallery, establishing it as a unique presence “where art meets the river” in the growing Boathouse District at the Oklahoma River.

“Both Oklahoma City and the University of Central Oklahoma are enjoying a time of positive change and transformation, and the development of the Boathouse District is an important part of it,” said UCO President Roger Webb.

“The vision behind the Boathouse District development always involved creating innovative facilities and programs that complement one another, working together to create a dynamic, world class environment unique to Oklahoma City,” said Mike Knopp, executive director of the Oklahoma City Boathouse Foundation. ”The CHK|Central Boathouse perfectly advances this vision by introducing the arts to the Boathouse District and helping solidify the Oklahoma River as a destination for the entire community.”

While basic construction preparation has begun on the site of the CHK|Central Boathouse, the university is seeking additional investors and donors to sponsor the remaining $3 million needed to complete the project before actual construction on the boathouse begins. For more information on supporting the CHK|Central Boathouse, contact the UCO Foundation at (405) 974-2770 or visit www.ucogiving.org.
