Oklahoma Tower, Skyscraper in Oklahoma City, United States.
Oklahoma Tower is a glass and steel skyscraper in downtown Oklahoma City, designed by the architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. It rises over thirty floors and contains office space, with a direct connection to nearby parking facilities.
The tower opened in 1982, during a period when Oklahoma City was actively expanding its business district. It stands as one of several buildings from that era that changed how the city's downtown looked from that point on.
The tower stands out in the skyline with its smooth glass facade and modern form, clearly different from the older buildings around it. Visitors notice how the structure changed the city's appearance and inspired other builders to adopt similar contemporary designs.
The building is easy to find in central Oklahoma City and is visible from the surrounding streets. The interior is reserved for office tenants, and access is managed by security staff at the entrance.
The glass panels used on the facade were chosen to reduce solar heat while still letting natural light through, which was a new approach for Oklahoma buildings at the time. This made the tower one of the first in the state to use this kind of glazing system.
