Creating a new site collection

The interface for our Office 365 recently changed and we can no longer find how to create new site collections. Is there specific documentation that could inform us on how to do that or could someone...

In Admin, go to the menu 'Admin Centers' then SharePoint. You should land on the site collection page where you can create new site collections as normal.

The SharePoint admin center is available via this URL - you could try that directly/bookmark it.

I tried the link Kevin provided and recieved a message that I don't have permission. I am an admin on my own previously created site collections, but with the new interface, will need the admin center in order to create any new ones. I will talk with our systems people and see if they can activate the admin center part for us end-users.

  You have to be a SharePoint Admin or O365 Global Admin to access that page

    Even though I am a SharePoint Admin for several site collections, When I log into Office 365, (Enterprise), I do not have the Admin Center tile available via the app launcher. Do you know if it Is only supposed to be available to O365 Global Admins?
    
    Interestingly, I have discovered a long user-unfriendly URL path to https://<tenantname>/.../.../.../mngsubwebs.aspx page which allows me to create new subsites. The Admin Center would make it so much easier!
