Several Different Buildings Patched Together - Wes Jones

This of course is Stage Center in downtown Oklahoma City. This is where my wife and I went on our very first date, we attended a play. Over the years we attended many more events there. Unfortunately it is being torn down. Designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, this building is very unique. It's an amazing place with a lot of memories that will be greatly missed.

Empire State Building - Kara Miller

The Empire State Building is one of my favorite buildings.  I had the opportunity to go see it for the very first time a few summers back, and it was unforgettable.  It's one of the tallest buildings in the United States.  It was a fun trip that will always hold so many memories for me.  My favorite part about this building was going to the very top floor and the amazing skyline view.  I would jump at the opportunity to go back to this city.
The view from the very top.

Dale Hall - Claire Cox



Dale Hall is a place that I have interacted with several times a week since my first semester at OU. I transferred to OU for my third year of college and, as an anthropology student, have had at least two classes in Dale Hall every semester since.  Being in Dale Hall reminds me of all the people that I have met and all that I have learned in my classes since moving to Norman.  Looking back on these memories makes me glad that I made the decision to transfer to OU.  It also makes me realize how fast the time has gone by, and that I am getting very close to graduating.

Storage Unit Homes-Braden Wallace

I've been seeing these houses made from cargo storage units lately on TV and the internet and I find them really cool and unique. They aren't huge in size but what people have converted the insides like with their creativity is interesting to me.
 The middle picture is a couple of the storage units combined together to make a pretty good sized house. The last picture is a view from the inside with a bed and windows put into the sides. 

BOK Center-Benjamin Colbert

This picture was taken right after construction of the BOK Center was completed. It was a great addition to Tulsa, and it came at a time when downtown was growing. I have seen a concert or two in there, and watched a Thunder game there once. It's a great entertainment venue, and it definitely improved the quality of life for my home town.

Home Sweet Home - Wes Jones







This is my house.  It's the first house I have lived in that I actually own.  With that comes a sense of excitement, happiness, satisfaction, but also some stress.  It's a wonderful home for me, my wife, and daughter and it will always mean so much to me because it is where we started our family together.  It is satisfying to know we can make it our own, but it can also be stressful when things go wrong or need repairs.  The physical layout of the house is great, we also have a nice view across the street because our neighbor has some awesome landscaping in his front yard.

This’s the civil engineering science center I like going here because this is where the lab for my materials class is. I enjoy the hands on learning experience that we get to have in the testing lab located behind the front of the building.



I have had many classes at Devon energy center and find it to be a very modern good looking building. It makes me feel like a professional student learning and taking classes here




 This is dale hall and it reminds me of when I first started here at O.U. and makes me look forward to being done soon.




This is the student union and it reminds me of the O.U. community as a whole. It is a very open place and I usually eat or study here several times a week



This is the duplex that I own and it reminds me of my independence and my Grandma that left me the money, God rest her soul, to buy it.
