Oklahoma Tower, Skyscraper in Oklahoma City, United States.
Oklahoma Tower is a 31-story skyscraper about 410 feet (125 meters) tall, featuring a glass and steel construction designed by architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. The building houses office spaces and connects directly to nearby parking facilities in downtown Oklahoma City.
The building opened in 1982 as part of an expansion wave in Oklahoma City's business district, reflecting the city's economic growth at that time. Its completion marked a turning point in how the city approached modern construction and design.
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 sits in the business district and is easy to spot with security personnel managing controlled access to office spaces. The interior is mainly reserved for business activities, though the exterior is visible from public streets and sidewalks.
The building's glass facade was innovative for its time, using specialized panels that reduce solar heat while allowing natural light to pass through. This technical approach was new to Oklahoma at the time and helped keep the building cooler.
