The floor plan of this structure is an elongated diamond, but one would not necessarily know this fact, as views from the corners suggest a triangular layout. The Learning Resources Center houses many of ORU’s academic functions. This image from more than fifty years ago suggests futurism in several forms rarely seen elsewhere in this city…then or now. Tulsa was dubbed “terra cotta city” for its distinctive Art Deco buildings in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The zig-zag roof line is an extension of an Art Deco theme, while the tapered columns, diamond shaped in cross-section, mirror the footprint of this structure. In the 1960’s and ’70’s, there was in this eastern Oklahoma community a surge in the construction of simpler glass, steel, and concrete designs–“rectilinear” themes. When the original ORU campus was constructed, its futuristic architecture represented a radical departure from all previous design periods in Tulsa. The fact that this university and its distinctive well-maintained architecture have continued to flourish is a testimony to its visionary founder. This photograph was made on 4×5 Kodak film using a Calumet view camera and a Schneider 90mm f8 Super Angulon lens.
