The 16-story Wyly Tower of Learning, named for the benefactors Sam Wyly and Charles Wyly, is the most prominent building on the Louisiana Tech campus in Ruston, Louisiana. It was designed by the Bastrop architect Hugh G. Parker Jr. Though the Wyly Tower is the landmark campus structure, the university is planning to have the structure razed to make way for a revised library facility. The tower has been cited for lack of ventilation, asbestos, difficulty of providing fire protection, and stairwells do not exit to the exterior of the building.
