Additional Property Attributes

Once the hub of all student activities on Eastern Oklahoma State College?s campus, the E.T. Dunlap Student Union housed everything from the post office to the dining hall. However, after asbestos contamination was discovered within the structure it was boarded up and quickly became an eyesore to prospective and current students. The time had come for it to be demolished. However, the college had no funds for the asbestos abatement which was required to take place before demolition. EOSC applied for and received an ARRA subgrant from DEQ to abate the asbestos in the former student union so that it can be safely demolished. The college plans to construct a veteran?s memorial and nature park on the footprint of the former student union. Native plants will be used in the landscaping and the flagstone from the student union building will be incorporated into the memorial. The local VFW post has been involved in the memorial funding and planning efforts. The park will be a place where veterans and community members can gather to reflect. DEQ provided $178,425.42 from an ARRA RLF subgrant for the asbestos abatement. The student union has been demolished, but not redevelopement has occurred as of August 2017. Former Use: The former student union building (E.T. Dunlap building) was built in 1951 and was meant to serve as a central hub for student life on campus. The building's namesake, E.T. Dunlap served as a teacher, county superintendent of schools and high school inspector for accreditation for the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Dunlap was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1946, chaired the Committee on Education and was the principal author of the Education Code. From 1951 to 1961, he was president of Eastern Oklahoma State College. He left his post to become Oklahoma's second cancellor of education. The building housed the campus post office, dining hall, recreation room, book store and ball room where dances and college social events were held on a regular basis. Additions to the building were constructed twice as student population growth over the years demanded a bigger space. Eventually, irreparable structural issues caused closure of the building in 2010. A new student center built from state bond funds was dedicated in the fall of 2010.
