“They’re not just some big architectural firm. They want to be a part of this community. They want to make everything better."

This month marks our 15th anniversary! “There are so many people to thank for this,” said RAI Principal and Founder David Reed, who will mark this milestone with a Nov. 21 open house... 

The Westside Baseball and Softball Complex promises multiple long-term benefits for Sapulpa Public Schools baseball and softball players, coaches, fans, parents, bus drivers, and just about everyone else in this growing community.

For nine years, our firm placed strong emphasis on nurturing future professionals. We ramped up these efforts this year with six summer interns. This required significant investments in computers, desks, software, and other infrastructure. 

Sapulpa Public Schools broke ground for the SPS Westside Baseball and Softball Complex, which our firm designed. This multisport complex will feature dedicated baseball and softball fields. 

“My design mission is to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also promote productivity, health, and overall well-being,” she said.

In 2022, the downtown Sapulpa firm helped team member Jun Robinson meet her daily work demands after her family moved 500+ miles to San Antonio. Now Reed Architecture boasts the same success with Associate Architect Jordan Taylor Travis, whose family journeyed more than 1,200 miles to Utah.

“I wasn’t exactly sure what I would be doing when I got into this, but I like it a lot,” said Stella Green, a senior on track to graduate in May.

This is truly a historic moment for our city. Countless hours of work and sweat over the last few years set the stage for a dynamic era of change. Public and private investments in a wide variety of projects are breathing new life into Sapulpa. It’s amazing to see and an honor to be a part of.

“Especially along Route 66, murals are a good way to introduce and attract people to your town,” said Larry O’Dell, state historian with the Oklahoma Historical Society. “They help to bring new life to areas and build community pride.”

“If the fans have a great view of the action – along with easy circulation and great fan amenities such as concessions, restrooms and comfortable seats – in an environment that inspires them to cheer their team on to victory, that’s a home run.”

The 4,500-square-foot renovation, designed by Reed Architecture and Interiors, features a high-tech Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics, and Ministry (STEAMM) laboratory, a multipurpose classroom, an audio/visual room, and a photography dark room.

Reed Architecture and Interiors will sponsor Sapulpa High School football game broadcasts this season on ESPN Radio Tulsa, 99.9 FM and 1550 AM.

“We’ve never had a summer team like this one,” said Reed Architecture principal David Reed. “This marks the eighth straight year we’ve trained at least one summer intern, the first time we’ve had four, and the first time we’ve had one from OU and the high school ranks. It’s been interesting!”

Reed Architecture and Interiors congratulates Jun Robinson for achieving her architecture license. To accomplish this, she completed 5,600 internship hours and passed the National Council of Architectural Registration Board’s six architectural registration exams. 

Downtown Sapulpa's commercial activity might surprise its strongest supporters. “More and more people now recognize that we have a lot of untapped, fertile ground,” said David Reed.
