The new Gaylord Hall College of Journalism and Mass Communications provides a state-of-the art teaching facility and learning environment for fast-paced industry changes.
Exterior architecture draws from the Cherokee Gothic vernacular, prevalent on the historic Norman campus academic core.
The journalism and mass communications project is a two-phase 148,500 square foot new facility located on the South Oval of the University of Oklahoma.
The project includes multimedia computer labs, classrooms, lecture halls, a library, broadcast production and technical facilities, sound stage, auditorium, and faculty offices. These functions support the various education sequences such as professional writing, journalism, public relations, broadcast, production and advertising.
The two-phase design will embrace an exterior courtyard which serves as a gathering area for alumni and multimedia events. Commons Areas and a Hall of Fame offer interior event venues, and a roof terrace provides views of the courtyard during outdoor events.
