University of Tulsa Walking Tour (Self Guided), Tulsa
Located on the historic U.S. Route 66, America's "Mother Road", the University of Tulsa campus centers on a wide, grassy, quad-like space, known as Dietler Commons. Formerly called "The U", it is found not far from the downtown area and is dominated by English Gothic architecture.
At the top of Deitler Commons sits one of the campus' most notable landmarks, the McFarlin Library. It is named after Robert and Ida McFarlin, the library's primary benefactors, whose only stipulation with the gift was that the view of Downtown Tulsa from the Library could never be blocked.
Other key attractions on the campus include:
H.A. Chapman Stadium – formerly known as Skelly Field, the home base of TU football team since 1930.
Sharp Chapel – named for its principal donors, Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Sharp, it houses the Offices of University Chaplain and serves the religious needs of multiple denominations present on campus, as well as hosts many awards ceremonies and weddings.
Donald W. Reynolds Center – home to women's volleyball along with the men's and women's basketball programs.
