OU Foundation to return to campus home

After nine months in an off-campus building, the University of Oklahoma Foundation reopened Tuesday in it's on-campus building at 100 Timberdell Rd.

While their building underwent $2 million in renovations, the OU Foundation was housed in a temporary location on West Lindsey Street.

The renovation added 600 square feet of offices and replaced a 25-year-old heat and air conditioning system with new, cost and energy-efficient systems.

The OU Foundation offers private donors a way to invest philanthropic dollars in the future of the University of Oklahoma.
