Charles Koch Arena is a 10,478-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. The arena re-opened in 2003 as a reconstruction of the school's former basketball facility, known as "The Roundhouse" but formally named Henry Levitt Arena; the old arena concourse was completely demolished and a new one built around the original playing/seating area. A portion of the seating bowl was remodeled to make for more legroom. All new seating was installed as well as a video scoreboard, and virtually every surface that was not renovated was given a fresh coat of paint. It is home to the Wichita State Shockers men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams.

Koch Arena is scheduled to host the 2008 Kansas State High School Activities Association Class 6A state wrestling tournament.

As Levitt Arena it hosted the 1977 and 1989 Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball tournament title game.
