Memorial Union, Student union building at University of Oklahoma, United States.

The Oklahoma Memorial Union spans multiple floors containing dining venues, meeting spaces, administrative offices, and student service departments across its 25,000 square feet.

Construction of the Memorial Union began in 1929 through a one million dollar fundraising campaign, marking the first such initiative in the university's history.

The Memorial Union includes Meacham Auditorium and the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom, which host performances, ceremonies, and gatherings for up to 500 people.

Eight restaurants operate within the building, while office spaces accommodate financial aid services, career guidance, and administrative functions for student support.

The 99-foot clock tower, completed in 1936 through the Works Progress Administration, received carillon bells in 1955, adding musical elements to the structure.
