The physical science center here at OU is a building on campus that immediately caught my attention freshman year (Fall 2019). The building that stands twelve stories and 182,963squar feet and is nicknamed “the blender” by students across the campus for its odd shape and characteristics. The building does not have windows on the first 5 floors and is deemed to be riot-proof. It was constructed in 1969 and has been something of a talking point in every sense. In my opinion, the building has affected me negatively. Most classrooms don’t have windows, and it isn’t appealing to the eye on the outside or on the inside. The layout of rooms is very confusing and hard to navigate. It just overall is not a well thought out building. The outside of the building is a brown color and very displeasing to the eye in every way. The overall shape of the building is very peculiar. It is also my opinion that it is the most unappealing building on campus. This building is located next to the beautiful bizell library, a building that was beautifully crafted and features a sophisticated interior as well. The contrast between these buildings is astronomical and makes the flaws in the physical science center stand out more because it is placed next to such a building as the bizell library. I think the physical science center disrupts the beauty of the OU campus, although I know it isn’t feasible for it to be knocked down I still do wish they could do something to make it more appealing to the eye.
