When Oklahoma State University received a $14.8 million grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation for the School of Architecture, it helped propel the University’s nationally-renowned architecture school into one of the premier teaching, recruiting, and research architectural schools in the country. This gift was used to create 45,000 square feet of new space and 37,000 square feet of renovated space. The design exposed the building systems for teaching purposes and highlighted the connection spaces between the existing building and new additions.
