  1. New renderings shown tonight at the Centennial town hall. Lots of changes compared to the renderings initially posted here. They are thinking of replacing the current Cullen fountains with a much smaller fountain just in front of the Cullen building to have more plaza space. Also considering downsizing University Blvd to a single two way road in order to significantly increase pedestrian space. The space in front of the library looks to be getting significant changes as well. Emphasis is being placed on creating more shade, creating more outdoor seating, and overall making the campus more pedestrian friendly. I'm sure the new renderings will be published online soon.
  2. This place isn't even finished being built yet and it already looks dated. It looks like a run down motel from the 80's .. The other apartments going up around campus are way more promising.
  3. I haven't been keeping up with this project closely, but didn't they say early on that they were going to restore/preserve some of its art deco details? Maybe I'm remembering wrong because there's not much art deco left...
  4. Living in Detroit has really put into perspective for me how bland a lot of the architecture in Houston is. Everything built is about maximizing profits and minimizing costs. None of these buildings are memorable, and they don't really add much to the character of the city.
  5. The inside looks nice, but good god that's some uninspired architecture. It just opened and it already looks 35 years old from the outside.
  6. It's a shame they knocked down the old quads instead of renovating them. This new building looks pretty soul-less and generic and isn't going to age well. From the sounds of it, they're going to make the same mistake with Moody.
  7. It's being put on hold for now. Instead, they're gonna focus on finishing tower 1 sooner, and they'll be making some upgrades to the current St. Luke's building in the meanwhile. They cited "uncertainty in the national healthcare landscape" as part of the reason why.
