The Bizzell Memorial Library (or the Biz) is one of the first buildings I fell in love with on campus. Its gothic architecture on the front steps remind me of an Ivy League campus and inspired a sense of learning in me when I was on a tour as a junior in high school. Plus, the red brick and white stone create a nice contrast that is easy on the eyes. What really took my breath away was the Hogwarts-esque Great Reading Room. The high ceilings and lanterns draw the eye up towards the heavens for inspiration. The dark wood and books on the shelf reinforce the theme of learning, which is always present in the silence of the Great Reading Room. Now as a Junior, the Biz is still my favorite place to study. Nowhere else on campus makes me feel like a student like the Biz does. It reminds me of why I came to OU and pushes me to study harder every time I visit.
