In 1997, the University of Oklahoma’s Delta Tau Delta chapter desperately needed to renovate their chapter house. After 30 years without remodeling, time has taken a toll on the Shelter. From 1998-2000, DTD’s fraternity fundraising efforts allowed the chapter to:
-
Redesign the Shelter's facade for a more traditional appearance
-
Correct drainage problems and renovate landscaping in the courtyard
-
Expand with the addition of a club/living room to bridge the sleeping corridors
-
Repurpose living room into a library/study
-
Upgrade study rooms for access to current technology
-
Create a second entry that for heavy pedestrian traffic from campus while allowing the front entry to serve formal traffic patterns
-
Enhance the interior with new carpeting and paint
-
Modify and improve the housemother's quarters
-
Address the requirements of ADA by enhancing accessibility
