Carson Engineering Center stands in the northeast corner of campus across from Sarkey's Energy Center. The building was constructed in the 60s. I'm not particularly attracted to it, but I appreciate what the architect did in its design. The large pillars on the left of the picture are a futuristic interpretation of the structural pillars used in the older buildings on campus. It has the same color scheme which identifies it as an OU building. Its an older building, so the interior and parts of the exterior need some care. This is the home of my major in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science. The hallways of this building are almost cave-like because they are poorly lit. The interior is pretty generic aside from the center of the building where a freestanding staircase stands. This building doesn't draw exceptional academics out of me like other buildings do (ex. Bizzell Memorial Library, Devon Energy Center).
look at the stuff Frank Lloyd Wright did and you will see his influence in the design
