- Where “Boomers and Sooners” came from
- Why OU football started off on the wrong foot
- How merchants once celebrated a catastrophic fire

Discover a District
Thank you to everyone who joined SMPS Oklahoma for our Heart of Downtown Tulsa Architecture Tour on May 19!
It was a fantastic afternoon exploring the rich history and design legacy that defines Tulsa’s iconic downtown. Attendees had the opportunity to experience some of the city’s most notable early 20th-century architecture, including rare access to spaces not typically open to the public.
From walking through the historic underground tunnels to touring the Philcade Building ahead of its exciting transformation into a four-star hotel and residential development, the tour offered a unique look at both Tulsa’s past and its future.
We’re grateful to our guide for sharing their expertise and to all who attended for making this such a memorable event. It’s always inspiring to connect with fellow AEC professionals while experiencing the spaces that shape our community.
Stay tuned for more SMPS Oklahoma programs. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
