Veterans Lodge and Administration Facility
Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma
A GATHERING PLACE FOR VETERANS
BWA Architects provided full architectural services for the Veterans Lodge and Administration Facility, a one-story, 13,118 square foot building located on a prominent hilltop near the Chickasaw Medical Campus. The project was designed to serve both social and administrative functions for veterans and their families.
The scope included a large central activity room with gathering spaces, recreational amenities, and supporting restrooms, along with private banquet and conference spaces with an adjoining kitchen. The facility also houses Veterans Services offices, including a reception area, conference room, administrative offices, restrooms, and a private chapel.
Site work included new drives, parking, outdoor courtyards, plazas, and patio areas. The building’s materials and detailing were selected to align with the architectural character of the surrounding medical campus. Design challenges related to the sloping site required careful coordination of grading and drainage to support accessibility and functionality.
