As a high schooler visiting OU, I toured the Bizzell Library for the first time. From the outside, the red bricks and high arching windows are a gorgeous view. The building gives off a strong scholarly persona with the high columns in the front and straight edge hedges surrounding it.  Upon entering the Great Reading Room, I was met with the most collegiate style room I’ve ever seen. It’s like seeing a classroom from Harry Potter. The high ceilings with old wooden arches surrounding them give the room a very vast and empty feeling as well. Though, the windows give a very open feeling as a spot to watch over the entire campus without being bothered. Overall, I find the building to be very aesthetic holding a powerful presence.
