Devon Tower, Blog 9, Tyra Jones

“The Devon Energy Center (also known as the Devon Tower) is a 50-story corporate skyscraper in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and is tied with Park Tower in Chicago as the 62nd tallest building in the United States. Construction began October 6, 2009, and was completed in October 2012.[4] The tower is located next to the historic Colcord Hotel, which Devon currently owns, on Sheridan Avenue between Hudson and Robinson Avenues.

I visited the Devon Tower on September 29th, 2016 for my second anniversary with my current boyfriend of almost six years. I had been to Devon before this for holiday parades and similar activities, but this was my first time going inside.
Unfortunately, I did not pay much attention to the inside because it was night time and I was too excited about the restaurant to worry about interior design,
I do remember, however, the elevator ride up to the restaurant. I recall how it seemed like the building swayed as we rushed past flights, to the top of the building. The restaurant was dimly light and was not actually a good experience (we ordered highly sophisticated food and really just were not old enough to enjoy the experience).
Having maturated a bit, I would be interested in returning to both Vast and Devon tower. Knowing what I do now about LEED architecture projects (which Devon is one), healthy work environments and just general design knowledge, I think it would be cool to see all these elements up close. I plan to visit the Devon Tower again when we can resume normal public patterns, but this time I will pay close attention to its features.
