Professor RANDY SEITSINGER, AIA, Head of the School of Architecture, Oklahoma State University Stillwater, will present a visual “walk thru” of the new wing additions and retrofit of the existing School of Architecture which was completed last autumn. The existing facility had several occupants prior to the School of Architecture, including the campus basketball arena and natatorium followed by the Armory for the Army ROTC programs. Design and construction of the additions and retrofit efforts spanned about three years garnering multiple creative input and expertise from various professional team members, each adding greatly to the overall success of this project. Randy will discuss the sustainability efforts incorporated which primarily included:

• Preservation and reuse of the existing infrastructure,
• Use of green space replacing hardscape in central campus activities,
• Use and reuse of material with a focus on reusing and preserving the existing with sustainable new materials added,
• Exposing structure and systems to eliminate new materials and systems,
• Solar control on east and west through the use of a double skin system and special fritted class, and
• Daylighting innovations in the design studios.
