1. Oklahoma United Methodist Hall Marker

Inscription. Built in response to increased student demand for on-campus housing, construction began in September of 2006 and was completed eleven months later, just in time for the August 2007 move-in. First christened Centennial Hall to honor Oklahoma's one-hundredth birthday, the board of trustees unanimously voted to change the name to Oklahoma United Methodist Hall in the spring of 2010, as a tribute to OCU's Methodist heritage. This hall features plush apartment-style suites with kitchenettes, 18-seat movie theater, and a large event and entertainment terrace. Serving 362 students in a coed environment, Oklahoma United Methodist Hall's covered, underground parking garage and close proximity to the Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center make it a much-desired housing option.

Also see . . . Our History. Founded in 1904, what we know now as Oklahoma City University had several names and locations in its early years. One thing has remained constant; the university has remained firmly attached to its Methodist roots.
