The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has named University of Oklahoma alumnus Henry Hepburn a Fellow in its 2021 class. This accomplishment recognizes the contributions of architects to their communities and the profession.
Hepburn, who is an associate professor of architecture at the University of The Bahamas and a noted professional architect, said he was “elated and honored to have been eligible to be elevated to the esteemed level of fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, for which I give thanks to the almighty [who] has done great things for me.”
Hepburn is an alumnus of two Gibbs College programs. He graduated from the OU Master of Architecture program in 1977 and the OU Master of Regional & City Planning program in 1982.
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. Busch Professor of Construction Science, on beginning her term as president of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), an international organization dedicated to advancing construction education through teaching, research and service.
Following years of contributions to the College’s research and strategic initiatives, Gibbs College shares that Associate Dean for Research and External Engagement Angela M. Person, PhD, will step down from her position at Gibbs College as she moves to Tucson with her family, effective June 30, 2026.
