Metro Tower, Office skyscraper in Lubbock, United States.
The Metro Tower contains 20 floors with a total area of 111,000 square feet and stands 274 feet tall in the center of Lubbock.
Built in 1955 as the Great Plains Life Building, the structure endured substantial damage during the 1970 Lubbock tornado and remained empty for several years.
