Dale Hall, the building that makes our campus look a little less beautiful. For this building being the first one you see driving into campus off Lindsey, it should be a little more breathtaking. Dale Hall opened in 1967, and Dale Hall Tower was built two years later. These two buildings were named for the University of Oklahoma historian, Edward Everett Dale. I remember my first day of freshman year walking into Dale, marking the worst day of college in the past three years here. I had a class right before in Sarkeys Energy Center which is a 15 minute walk, but I only had a 10 minute gap. I was speed walking across the south oval in 95 degree heat sweating on every inch of my body. As I was walking up the stairs in the entry, I slipped and fell down the stairs. I was horrified. As I get into class on the first day I started walking all the way to the top, trying not to look at everyone as I was nearly 15 minutes late. As I sit in the seat I slip out and fall. One again, horrified. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the entire semester, something always seemed to go wrong in that building. As an interior design/ architecture major I have always hated Dale. Not only is the architecture off, but there is not a single ounce of natural light within any of the classrooms. Everybody loves windows. While the architecture and design is unique, it is not functional for life these days. I always felt so far away from the professor which allowed for me to not pay attention to anything. I will forever have a hate for Dale, hoping I never have a class in there again.
