Thunder 07-27-2011, 05:08 PM You mean something like OU has near downtown? Pete 07-27-2011, 05:25 PM OSU has their osteopathic medical school and hospital downtown, but it's nowhere near the size and scope of the Health Sciences Center in OKC. OU-Tulsa also has a community medicine program at the campus at 41st & S. Yale. Beyond that, they just have hospitals / medical centers spread around town. http://centernet.okstate.edu/whatsnew/rounds/2006/images/OSU-MC.jpg Spartan 07-27-2011, 07:32 PM I would say there is a primary medical corridor along South Yale, between Skelly Drive (51st) and 71st. It is an area with a decent-sized skyline. Of course the CityPlex towers in far south Tulsa were originally built as a hospital, and those are almost 700 ft tall. Now it's just assorted office space (and vacant space).

Beyond that, they just have hospitals / medical centers spread around town. http://centernet.okstate.edu/whatsnew/rounds/2006/images/OSU-MC.jpg That's the OSU Medical Center which is downtown. The medical college is directly accross the river from there but is not downtown, this is the newest building finished in the last year: http://www.healthsciences.okstate.edu/chs_corner_shot.jpg OU has a large and growing campus at 41st and Yale: http://www.ou.edu/content/tulsa/map/_jcr_content/mid_par/image.img.jpg/1308767770036.jpg South Yale has a large medical cluster and has at three hospitals with St Francis Medical Center (Tulsa’s largest hospital), St Francis Children’s Hospital, and Laureate with a lot of high rise clinic buildings all along a one mile section of Yale. This is the new Children's Hospital http://www.ou.edu/content/tulsa/community_medicine/im_peds/sites/_jcr_content/mid_par/image.img.jpg/1284075767039.jpg And the cool looking new Natalie Building http://journalrecord.com/files/2010/07/natalie-medical-building_2_rip-07-23-10.jpg Then in midtown there’s the Utica corridor from 15th to 21st streets by Utica Square with St John Medical Center (Tulsa’s 2nd largest) and Hillcrest(3rd) all in the same half mile of Utica Ave. This is the St John Campus: http://www.stjohnhealthsystem.com/upload/file/Heart_Institute/Campus%20Map.JPG And now there’s a growing third cluster at 91st and US 169 with Southcrest on side of the highway and St Francis South on the other and just a mile north at 81st is the big Cancer Treatment Centers of America hospital. St Francis is also planning a heart hospital across the street from the South hospital. Spartan 07-28-2011, 04:16 PM Yeah but that is kind of like how every city has a a handful of medical clusters scattered around. P.S. What is it about OSU and ugly design? Bunty 07-28-2011, 05:54 PM Yeah but that is kind of like how every city has a a handful of medical clusters scattered around. P.S. What is it about OSU and ugly design? I don't know. It looks more like a new county jail. OKCisOK4me 07-28-2011, 06:14 PM Yeah but that is kind of like how every city has a a handful of medical clusters scattered around. P.S. What is it about OSU and ugly design? What is it about UO fans and their egotistical POVs? Spartan 07-28-2011, 08:27 PM What is it about UO fans and their egotistical POVs? Seriously, look at this! http://www.healthsciences.okstate.edu/chs_corner_shot.jpg And it's beige and orange! ZYX2 07-29-2011, 07:38 AM Seriously, look at this! http://www.healthsciences.okstate.edu/chs_corner_shot.jpg And it's beige and orange! I LOVE that building! OKCisOK4me 07-29-2011, 10:55 AM Yeah, Spartan, I scrolled up myself and saw it. Looks better than the first picture that has an OSU logo on it. Looks like a federal facility to me. dmoor82 07-29-2011, 11:09 AM LOL,it looks like osu's indoor practice facility was built in the wrong city!http://www.healthsciences.okstate.edu/chs_corner_shot.jpg lasomeday 07-29-2011, 01:27 PM Seriously, look at this! http://www.healthsciences.okstate.edu/chs_corner_shot.jpg And it's beige and orange! At least OSU's college of Architecture building is hands down better looking than OU's! Spartan 07-29-2011, 03:25 PM At least OSU's college of Architecture building is hands down better looking than OU's! Oooh, touche! Got me there. Spartan 07-29-2011, 03:26 PM LOL,it looks like osu's indoor practice facility was built in the wrong city! Ahhh maybe that explains why they don't have one in Stillwater LOL. BG918 08-03-2011, 10:21 PM OSU evidently wants to develop its medical complex downtown into something much larger, and they are starting a massive renovation of the current facilities. It will be interesting to see if they start building research buildings like OU. OSU occupies the SW corner of downtown Tulsa (OSU Medical Center) and an area across the river where the HSC is located. It is one of the better DO schools in the region. |
