AIA CENTRAL OKLAHOMA NEWS

Member Spotlight - Andy Rine of GE Johnson
We love our members!


Andy Rine of GE Johnson Construction 

Bio. I am a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and a Master of Business Administration. I work for GE Johnson as the Director of Preconstruction for our Central Region and was previously a Project Manager for 10 years.  I live in Gatewood Historic District in Oklahoma City with my wife Stacy and our children Adam and Alice.  Our traveling has slowed down a lot since the birth of our son, so now I fill my time with photography, gardening, video games and playing with my kids.

How long have you been an Allied Member of AIA? GE Johnson has been a member since we opened this office 4 years ago.

What is your favorite AIA Central Oklahoma event? Kickball tournament

What is your favorite thing about AIA? I like that AIA connects people and organizations that need help with their buildings.  Just this year AIA helped me to become involved with a very important project that I would never have known about otherwise.

What attracted you to the construction industry? I like that design/construction is the intersection of art and engineering.  I started out in Architecture school but was a terrible/frustrated designer, so I made the switch to construction.  It was definitely the right move for me.

What is one of your favorite designs in Central Oklahoma? Stage Center

Do you do any volunteer work? Stacy and I are very active in the community.  I chair the OU Construction Science Professional Advisory Board, and I'm a member of the Myriad Gardens Foundation Community Board.  I'm active in Oklahoma City Rotary and helped found OKC Midtown Rotary, where I am a past president.

Window or aisle?  Window.

On a Saturday morning, where would we typically find you?  In the summer you can find us at the OSU-OKC Farmer's Market and running errands with the kids.  This is another area where our lives have changed drastically in the last four years!

Thank you to FSB for Teaching Last Week's KIDesign
Each week during this Fall semester, AIA and the Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture are teaching kids at Eugene Field Elementary about architecture.  Last week FSB led the effort.  Thanks FSB!



KIDesign Items Needed
As you know, this fall we are hosting our KIDesign program every week at Eugene Fields Elementary and teaching 4th and 5th graders.  We'd love some help with building materials for approximately 35 students. We have limited storage space so these items must fit inside 2'x3' plastic tubs; and we don't need to fill more than 2-3 tubs. We would like for everything to be in usable shape - if you wouldn't incorporate it into your own architectural model, we don't want to offer it up to the kids. All materials need to be able to be cut with scissors and with no sharp edges.
 
Thanks again for your continued support.
 
What we need:

Balsa Wood (sheets, strips)
Chip Board
Cork Board
Foamcore
Corrugated Cardboard (in good condition, without words/labels)
Construction Paper
Posterboard
Architecture Magazines
Dried Baby's Breath (or other fake foliage for trees)
Toilet Paper or Paper Towel Tubes
Cardboard tubes (possibly from plotter paper) cut into 1' to 2' lengths
Small (less than 3"x3") samples of laminate, carpet, or other materials from your sample library
Alene's Original Tacky Glue (gold bottle) (15 bottles)
Low-Temp Hot glue guns and glue (3-4 glue guns & 5 pkgs of glue)
