History
The college as it stands now was formed in 1970 as the College of Environmental Design. It was renamed the College of Architecture in 1984. Architecture was formally established at OU in 1926 as the School of Architecture under the College of Engineering. The Construction Science program began in 1978, and in 1982 the Interior Design and Landscape Architecture programs were incorporated into the college. In 1987, the Department of Regional and City Planning moved to the College of Architecture from the College of Arts and Sciences.[2]
In 1943, renowned architect Bruce Goff was appointed chairman of the School of Architecture and served in that role until 1955.[3]
In Norman, classes are held primarily in Gould Hall, built in 1950. In 2008, Gould Hall underwent a $33 million renovation and reopened in 2011, housing all divisions under one roof for the first time in the college's history.
