Subhashini Gamagedara, an alumna of the Master of Landscape Architecture program, was recently featured in The Field, the professional practice networks’ blog of the American Society of Landscape Architects. This online publication features information, work, research and shared thoughts about current happenings in the Landscape Architecture realm.
Gamagedara is a park planner for Oklahoma City as well as member of ASLA and leader of the Women in Landscape Architecture Professional Practice Network. She is also LEED AP certified, which distinguishes professionals with advanced knowledge in green building.
She recently participated as a guest critic at Parkitecture, a spring camp hosted by Science Museum Oklahoma. The camp provided design experiences centered around parks for children aged 8-12. The kids engaged in a variety of hands-on activities, including the creation and presentation of 3D park models.
According to Gamagedara, “I was blown away by the creativity, empathy and the level of critical thinking that these ‘young designers’ demonstrated… I walked away with renewed enthusiasm for my work in bringing play, discovery and growth to communities Oklahoma City-wide.”
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.
