Dawn view of the CityPlex Tower in Tulsa. The tallest of three interconnected towers designed by Frank Wallace. who designed many of the buildings at the nearby Oral Roberts University. At 648 feet tall CityPlex Tower is the second highest building in Oklahoma. It was formerly the City of Faith Medical Center built by Evangelist Oral Roberts. The hospital opened in 1981 and closed in 1989. It is now an office building.
I was working in Tulsa when this building was constructed. There was a great deal of discussion and opposition to it at the time, because Tulsa didn’t need that much new hospital bed space. The result as that much of the interior was never completed while in the hands of the university. In fact, the upper half remained an unfinished shell for as long as I can remember. Is the building now fully occupied?
It looks so start against the intense blue sky! Terrific capture for the day! Hope your week is off to a great start!

That’s supposed to be “stark”!! Obviously too early to catch the bloopers in time.

Looks like people are already up there working!
You may have taken this from my cousins back yard. Or close to it anyway. I’m not a big OR fan. He sounded like a you-know-what.

You take me to some amazing places Yogi, places I would never see unless you shared them, for that, thank you 🙂
Interesting post for your shot.
that one tower doe3s look a bit out of scale to the rest of the complex… interesting to read driller’s comment.
Informative post!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
That is one incredible tower. It makes me think of those cream wafer cookies!
Mmm… looks like a chocolate bar!
Looks like there are a lot of early risers. I used to work on an early shift.
My father-in-law works over there. I remember them building that. You gonna add the praying hands another week?
That sure was a short-lived hospital. There must be a story there!
What EG Wow said. Interesting…
I wonder how many floors that building has? Trying to put myself at the top looking down at the city below.
Whoa! That is a super structure.
Wow, it’s massive! Hard to sneak out for a quick break if you work on the last floor 😀
That’s quite an impressive tower. I like the gold against the blue sky.
Hi,
I enjoy the tour you give us of your part of the country. Great image.
