A vital link

摘要

Richard and Pat Lawson made history at Oklahoma Christian University, Edmond, Okla., by pledging the largest alumni gift, $30 million, to the school in 2004. To honor their generous contribution and distinguished alumni status, the university requested the construction of a unique structure that would embody the many aspects of student life.rnThe university turned to TAP Architecture, a firm located in Oklahoma City, Okla., to work on the 720m2 Lawson Commons pavilion connecting university housing to the bustling student center. Along with providing a passageway for students, the university wanted to create an outdoor space where formal events and ceremonies could be enjoyed by university faculty and guests, as well as the local community.
