During the 2017 Design-Build Conference and Expo in Philadelphia, OU team members Hannah Lang (captain), Matthew Festa, Zach Parnell, Anika Saynyarack, and Jafer Alnasser presented the team’s proposal for a student health and wellness facility to a jury of eight judges. Proposals were evaluated based on their delivery solutions and demonstration of team collaboration and synergy to solve design-build problems. The competition was tight, with only a three-point difference separating first and third place. Faculty advisers for the team were Prof. Tammy McCuen and Assoc. Prof. Dan Butko.
During the Spring 2026 semester, students in Interior Design Studio IV and Graduate Studio IV gained hands-on experience in educational facility design through a semester-long partnership with MA+ Architecture.
The Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture congratulates Dr. Tammy McCuen, Robert E. Busch Professor of Construction Science, on beginning her term as president of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), an international organization dedicated to advancing construction education through teaching, research and service.
Following years of contributions to the College’s research and strategic initiatives, Gibbs College shares that Associate Dean for Research and External Engagement Angela M. Person, PhD, will step down from her position at Gibbs College as she moves to Tucson with her family, effective June 30, 2026.
