A building that has influenced me in a positive way is Devon Energy Hall on the University of Oklahoma’s campus. I like this building because it takes advantage of natural lighting with plenty of windows surrounding the perimeter of the building, which I have found that a lot of buildings that I have had classrooms in on campus have had a lack of windows. The design of the building is also intriguing to me. The building has a balcony on the 5th floor that only students in the college of engineering have access to, which makes for a great study area when the weather is nice.  Overall, this building is what I would consider an ideal learning environment for students who like to feel like there is more “open space” around them in the classroom.
