Campus Casa Guidebook

Campus! Campus is centered on two large “ovals”. The Parrington Oval (North Oval) is anchored on the south by Evans Hall, the main administrative building, and on the east by the Oklahoma Memorial Union. The Van Fleet Oval (South Oval) is anchored on the north by the beautiful Bizzell Memorial Library which showcases the famous and historic “Cherokee Gothic” architecture seen throughout campus. The Library is one of four buildings on Campus listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Go inside to view the famous Great Reading Room. Just to the east of the South Oval lies the legendary Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Enjoy Art, History, or Athletics? Located on Campus are museums for all three!
