Crosley Tower is a 16-story campus building of the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was designed in the Brutalist style by A.M. Kinney Associates, a Cincinnati architecture firm. As of March 2026, the building is in the process of being demolished.

Crosley Tower has 107,253 sq ft (9,964.1 m2) between 16 stories.[1] The tower, along with its counterpart Rieveschl Hall, has massive concrete columns that flare at the top. It is roughly square, and resembles an abstract fluted Corinthian column. The tower is a symbol of the university, and a visual landmark, visible from most areas on the campus and beyond.[2]

The tower is the second largest continuous pour concrete structure in the United States, behind the Hoover Dam.[3]
