Students across the Gibbs College of Architecture enrolled in Marjorie Callahan’s “Rethinking Women’s Prisons” course presented their final projects to ReMerge officials and participants of the program on Dec. 12 at the organization’s brand new location in Oklahoma City.
ReMerge, a nonprofit based in Oklahoma City, works to support pregnant women and mothers facing incarceration through a program of “treatment, recovery, and hope.”
“Oklahoma is currently ranked number one for female incarceration per capita in the United States – a country that leads the developed world in incarcerating its own citizens.”

Students presented their ideas for improving local Oklahoma prisons for women, as well as many other design-based concepts such as park installments and facilities.
During the Spring 2026 semester, students in Interior Design Studio IV and Graduate Studio IV gained hands-on experience in educational facility design through a semester-long partnership with MA+ Architecture.
The Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture congratulates Dr. Tammy McCuen, Robert E.
