Dean Hans E. Butzer, with The University of Oklahoma College of Architecture, is incredibly pleased to announce a $25,000 grant from the Ross Group Charitable Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is the first major grant to support the American School’s 2019 exhibition and its affiliated projects. The grant will support the production of a 3D scan of Herb Greene’s Prairie House, pictured above.
“Ross Group’s support of the American School Exhibition is invaluable, and will provide our faculty and students with resources to prepare for the 2019 exhibition. We are grateful for their vision and support,” Butzer said. “The American School Exhibition will highlight the rich history of architecture and design pioneered at the OU College of Architecture and that continues to shape our design pedagogy.”
