Welcome to the University of Oklahoma College of Architecture
The University of Oklahoma College of Architecture is a multi-disciplinary unit concerned with
the planning, design and construction of the built environment. Our focus is to give our students
the best training and skillset that will prepare them for life after graduation.
Dean Charles W. Graham Memorial Scholarship
The College of Architecture family gathered together on the afternoon of Saturday the 19th of
February to honor the life of Dean Charles Graham. It was incredible to see so many of his
family, friends, colleagues, students and associates gathered in one place to celebrate his life; He
would have been very pleased with his send-off.
His untimely passing marks the end of a chapter in the life of the OU CoA, but more importantly
it marks the beginning of a new chapter. The culture of collaboration and working together that
he created will be one of the college’s greatest strengths as we continue striving for excellence
and planning for the future. The college was fortunate to have him lay the foundation of
excellence and progress that we all enjoy today.
The Dean’s family has setup a scholarship fund in his memory and we hope you will join us in
honoring his memory and continuing his legacy.
