Adams Tower – Norman, Oklahoma

Exterior

From the exterior, this residential hall has a simple beauty and elegance. The four separated towers give it a unique look when compared to the surrounding towers, and contribute to the building’s positive aspects. I also appreciated the pseudo-balconies and the character they add.

On the other hand, once you walk through the doors, the building seems to have a reverse TARDIS effect: smaller on the inside. The narrow, circular lobby isn’t so bad; but not having a common center in order to get to and from a desired tower is somewhat of a nuisance. Additionally, the rooms are tiny (both in width and in height) and the walls are paper-thin. I had a private room and still felt the effects of the limited space. I really would only ever go there to sleep and shower.

I will say, despite all that, on the 12th floor I did have a pretty great view.
