ROTUNDA
Our plan for the future
A
er careful study, assessment, and planning, the Gamma Chi
leadership has engaged the services of Gould Evans Architects
to assess the long-term needs of the chapter house and to
develop a plan to address those needs.
e emphasis of the design will be placed on providing ample study
and social space, access to technology, and offer suite-style living
arrangements for the undergraduate brothers. Additionally, the
house was designed to incorporate some of the defining architectural
characteristics from Pi Kappa Alpha's historical beginnings at
Monticello while complementing the beauty of the Oklahoma State
campus. In all areas, the architect has been instructed to address
mandatory building and fire code requirements. In addition, we have
placed a special emphasis on the use of practical and durable building
materials, finishes, and fixtures. e aim is a high-quality durable
facility that will provide a safe living and learning environment.
