Nielsen Hall

We are the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy located in Nielsen Hall on the campus of The University of Oklahoma. Here is a glimpse of our past.


 This building houses the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma. The building was built in 1946 and was named after Jens Rud Nielsen (1894-1979) at his retirement in 1965.
