PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The University of Oklahoma College of International Studies was established in 1996 to coordinate and promote international activities and programs, enhance the international content of the curriculum, and increase the university’s outreach on international matters.

The project included the exterior renovation of the west façade, which is now the front door of the college. Additionally, the facility houses a two-story lobby, elevator, and open stairs. A three-story element was added to the west façade to house the dean’s and staff offices and a quiet study area on the first floor. The University of Oklahoma College of International Studies offers new faculty offices as well as small conference and seminar rooms on the second and third floors.
