IQC students examine the Alvis Hotel in Paul's Valley, OK.
During the semester, the students traveled with Professor Ron Frantz and Associate Director Hope Mander to examine a variety of historic buildings, renovation projects, and new construction. The field trips to Pauls Valley, Shawnee, Oklahoma City, and Sulphur provided interesting precedent studies to help the students envision a future for the Alvis Hotel.
Along the way, property owners, developers, construction company representatives, Main Street directors and volunteers, and preservationists helped explain behind the scenes information about the building projects. Professor Ron Frantz said the students were surprised by the great projects and dedicated people in Oklahoma, especially in the smaller towns.
The IQC Community Workshop traveled to the Garage Loft Apartments in Oklahoma City.
Visitors are welcome to attend the presentation in Paul’s Valley on May 5. See the invitation below.
