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.
