Multiple Architects Honored With AIA Design Awards

We are lucky enough to work some pretty incredible design teams on our projects. We take great pride in bringing their vision and the vision of our clients to life. We get just as excited when something on paper is being brought to life.

KKT Architects and The Discovery Lab in Tulsa, OK received the AIA of Oklahoma Merit Award for Excellence in Craft Category and the AIA of Eastern Oklahoma People’s Choice Award for Excellence in Craft Category. The Discovery Lab, which opened to members this month, had a unique facade which complements the natural materials found throughout the park. The undulating brick wall is an abstract expression of movement in four dimensions and exemplifies Discovery Lab’s exhibit philosophy of finding new and unique ways of using ordinary materials. (as stated by KKT Architects)

GH2 Architects and The Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences at Legacy Plaza project received the AIA of Eastern Oklahoma People’s Choice Award in Healthcare Design. What was once a former headquarters of Dollar Thrifty is now a functional facility for Family & Children’s Services in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Thaden Bike Barn designed by Marlon Blackwell Architects and Red Barn designed by Modus Studio both received an AIA of Arkansas Design – Honor Awards. These awards are given in recognition of outstanding achievement in architectural design from the Arkansas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

Last but certainly not least, Osage Park Pavilion also designed by Modus Studio received a Merit Award for Design Excellence from the Gulf States Region of The American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Crossland Construction Back at Melissa ISD

Our Texas K12 Education Construction team is about to be hard at work on Melissa ISD campus again. After successfully delivering Melissa ISD High School Phase 2 additions and renovations in the spring and Willow Wood Elementary this summer, we’re excited to be back for the phase 3 CTE addition at the high school. 

We’re big believers in taking a team approach to projects, so we’re looking forward to working with Melissa ISD leadership and WRA Architects. 

Coach Kenny Deel Stadium

In addition, we recently took over the new construction of a stadium that will seat approximately 10,000 spectators. This fantastic facility will have a five-story press box with two VIP rooms, two sky perches, and a large community room. There will also be sections for media and scouts, home and visitor coaches, home and visitor radio announcers, and scoreboard and announcer staff. There will also be commons areas, multiple concessions, multiple restrooms, and visitor and official locker rooms.

Fans will have lower bowl seating above the concourse level on the west side and band seating in the south endzone.

There will be a turf field for football and soccer games.

All in all, the school will have 53,335 SF in total additions.

We’ve completed 400+ Projects for 125 school districts, and we’ve never missed a first day of school! Our experienced team will proudly welcome students to their new CTE school in the winter of 2023.

City of Norman Breaks Ground On Norman Forward Senior Wellness Center

This article was originally written and published on City of Norman, OK website.


The center is a Norman Forward project – a voter-approved special sales tax initiative passed in 2015 – and is currently projected to cost $12.4 million, with $8.5 million funded by Norman Forward and $3.9 million coming from CARES Act funds. The City of Norman has signed a memorandum of understanding with Healthy Living & Fitness, Inc., a non-profit that currently operates the first MAPS 3 Senior Health and Wellness Center in Oklahoma City, to operate the center when it opens.

The 30,000 sq. ft. center is set to include an indoor walking track and multiple fitness areas with locker rooms, multipurpose and art specific classrooms as well as lounge areas, a full kitchen for events and programming, outdoor pickleball courts and a lap pool. The center will be membership based on a sliding scale so that residents of all socioeconomic levels may enjoy the facility.

Claire Dowers-Nichols, Executive Director of Healthy Living & Fitness, Inc. is eager to bring their successful wellness center model to Norman residents after exceeding expectations enough to require a center expansion in North Oklahoma City.

“There’s a need across the nation for innovative programming for active, older adults,” Dowers-Nichols said. “Programming at the new center in Norman will be member-driven and based on the six dimensions of wellness to include: Vocational, Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Social, and Spiritual Wellness. We’ll be working with the community to find out how we can best serve their wellness needs.”

Mayor Breea Clark also shared that the center will provide a much-needed space for Norman’s active adults.

“I want to thank Norman residents for passing Norman Forward back in 2015 and being willing to provide valuable feedback during the design phases of this project,” Mayor Clark said. “This has truly been a community effort and hopefully residents will come out and celebrate getting work started on this exciting project!”

History – 100 Years in the Making

Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center

Tulsa, OK – “Every project is important and meaningful to the communities we help build,” said Greg Smith, Crossland’s VP – Tulsa. “But now and then, you get the opportunity to help build history.” The Greenwood Rising project is an impactful addition to the Tulsa community. Crossland is honored to have been a part of bringing it to life.

A Look Back
The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre represents a horrific event that destroyed over 35 blocks and killed over 300 people in Greenwood’s flourishing African American neighborhood, also known as Black Wall Street. The story was covered up for years and often omitted from school history books. The Greenwood Rising project’s mission aims at “repairing lingering historical racial trauma, work towards restoration, and charting a new, vibrant, inclusive course for the future.”

A Building that Invites Reflection
The one-story, 11,000 SF structural steel corner building is located at the gateway of the historic Greenwood District. A grand awning, extending over the sidewalk, embraces visitors, and a recessed skylight—punctuated by a stencil that casts a “1921” shadow on the ground—invites reflection.

The building’s patterned facade is dressed in glass and reinforced with concrete panels. The intricate details throughout make way for visitors to walk the paths of history. The decorative 3D brick profile is both unique and extravagant. A large radius wall levels up the space, giving way to a spacious lobby, embracing its visitors from the first step. This construction made way for historic exhibit galleries that retrace anti-Blackness’s political, economic, and social systems that sowed the seeds for the massacre.

Overcoming Obstacles
This project faced several challenges, including a tight timeline to meet the grand opening date on the 100th anniversary of the massacre. Our team was challenged with developing innovative ways to keep the project on track due to limited building materials and continuous delays.

Another hurdle was the location of the site. The building is in the heart of Tulsa’s bustling downtown area. With power lines, traffic, and pedestrians at play, additional safety measures were taken and at the forefront of every decision made.

Journey to Reconciliation
Greenwood Rising paves the way for truth in a city that buried the facts of the massacre for decades. As you exit the exhibit, a curved, LED brick wall invites visitors into its coil. Here you have the opportunity to make an actionable pledge toward racial reconciliation and a LED brick activates upon submission—an incredible end to this historical journey.

This construction brings hope to a community built on so much anguish. This project was one of our highest honors. We are so thankful for having the opportunity to be a part of this incredible moment in history.

Owner: 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission
Architect: Selser Schaefer Architects

Innovation and Collaboration, Inside and Out

This article was originally written and published by Architect Magazine.

Metal panels are the perfect fit for a Wichita State University campus building known for innovation and advancement.

When you consider the ideation happening on Wichita State University’s 120-acre Innovation Campus, in Wichita, Kan., it’s easy to understand why the look and function of its buildings are key to highlighting and reflecting the advancements and successes happening on-site.

A Growing Community

This unique hub serves as a test bed for technology and innovation—a place where companies nationwide can come together to explore and revolutionize within their respective industries. Featuring everything from research laboratories and offices to student residences and mixed-use facilities, the Innovation Campus also houses an impressive group of 20-plus organizations—including Deloitte, Airbus, Hyatt Corp., and Wesley Healthcare—that conduct work on-site and shoulder-to-shoulder with students and faculty.

As interest in its Innovation Campus grows, Wichita State University continues to add new facilities to the site. Every day, the campus connects students to valuable internships and job prospects by giving them the chance to work on real-world solutions. This collaboration is mutually beneficial: graduates get to begin their careers sooner and advance faster, and organizations are connected with prospective hires who have relevant, hands-on experience.

Completed in 2020, the 60,000-square-foot Partnership Building 3 is one of the latest additions to Wichita State University’s Innovation Campus. The three-story building currently serves as a home for NetApp, a hybrid cloud data services and data management company.
