Construction Science associate professors Matthew Reyes (left) and Somik Ghosh (right) have been awarded $29,982 for a one-year project sponsored by the Southern Plains Transportation Center.
When submitting a proposal for a project with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contractors must include a Project Management Plan (PMP) to demonstrate how they will successfully execute the project. Reyes & Ghosh will analyze archival data, current practices, and existing literature to develop a framework for PMPs to be used specifically on Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) projects.
They will then meet with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and industry professionals to validate the framework. The resulting fine-tuned framework will be a tool for project teams to guide the development of their PMPs for ABC projects.
Petya Stefanoff, Chair of the Educational Committee with the American Planning Association, Oklahoma Chapter (APA-OK) and Gibbs College PhD candidate, has developed a new training program for local government officials. The program, focused on land use, zoning principles, and land development, recently certified its first graduates with Certified Citizen Planner status.
Gibbs Construction Science and Architecture students recently traveled to Dublin, Ireland, to compete in the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Region 8 Student Competition. The team partnered with Czech Technical University and secured third place in the Design-Build category.
Gibbs College is pleased to present the exhibition Vollendorf in Oklahoma: The Architecture of Dean Bryant Vollendorf during the Spring 2026 semester. It will be on display in Gould Hall, on the OU-Norman Campus, from February 16, 2026 - March 13, 2026.
