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.
