What are the tallest buildings in Bryan-College Station? Since the Plaza Hotel is no more than a dusty plot at University and Texas, that leaves more buildings to claim the throne.

Momentum Plaza, Hilton College Station, Meteorology Building, Rudder Tower, and maybe even Four Seasons or La Salle Hotel take the top five, but I have no idea what the stats are or even what the top five are.

O&M building.

O&M is supposedly the tallest (even before the Plaza was destroyed) between Houston and Dallas.

O&M is 15 stories, the Alico Building in Waco is 22 stories. At one time, the Alico Building was the tallest building in the South.

I think the top of the O&M building is the highest point in the area, because it is up on a hill. However there is a story that when they built the water tower across from Northgate, it was slightly too tall and it took out a few degrees of the weather radar coverage from the dish on top of the O&M building - a real live Aggie joke if true!

I am not sure if the Momentum tower is taller or not...I don't think it is quite 15 stories though.

There are two amateur radio repeaters on campus. The antenna on the roof of the O&M building is listed as 170Ft AGL and the one on top of the press box on Kyle field is 200Ft AGL.
Have not been on the top of O&M since the late seventies and that was before the third deck on Kyle was built so don't know by sight which is tallest.

Thought it was mometnum bank.
