OSU CononcoPhillips Alumni Center Stillwater OK

We talked in class about how the architecture at OU was diverse throughout the campus, but Oklahoma State's campus was fairly uniform to a certain style.  I attended OSU during my freshman year and living on campus I spent time in several buildings.  This building I actually mostly just walked or drove past, but I went to some sort of event there during my first visit to OSU.  My dad attended OSU during graduate school, though I grew up knowing little about the school. When I was applying to schools during high school he mentioned that I should apply just to see if I got any scholarship offers.  I applied and got an offer, but I had never visited Stillwater.  They were having something for alumni so my parents and I visited the campus.  There really was not much to do in Stillwater, so this event somewhat sticks out.

The outside of the building does not seem to match the surrounding buildings due to the outer walkway.  Unless seen from above it sticks out somewhat on that campus.  I often used the walkway because I had a few classes nearby and it always seemed to be raining in Stillwater that year.

The inside has a large ballroom for these alumni gatherings, with windows along one wall which was nice.  Outside of the ballroom there is a huge living rooms with a massive fireplace.  There is kind of a alumni museum down a large hallway.

The fireplace is the almost the height of a one-story house, with a staircase behind it that goes to an upper loft floor.
