Donald MacDonald (B.Arch ’62) recently donated over 30 files to The American School Archive, currently housed in the OU College of Architecture. These files document the careers and work of dozens of American School educators, alumni, and friends through letters, slides, photographs, and drawings. MacDonald assembled this body of work when he edited a special issue of the international architecture journal,  A+U, titled “The American School of Architecture,” in November 1981. Among those included in this collection are Bruce Goff, Bart Prince, Arthur Dyson, John Hurtig, G.K. “Mickey” Meunnig, Robert “Bob” Bowlby, Varouj Hairabedian and William “Bill” Murphy.

If you would like to contribute materials to the American School exhibit, such as original drawings, models, or works of art, created by a student or alumnus of the OU College of Architecture under Bruce Goff or Herb Greene’s leadership, please fill out our Qualtrics form.
