hindesky Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I saw it a little closer and realized it was actually see through fake ivy printed on it. Looks good to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I've noticed this fenced off area east of the stadium the last couple of times I rode through the campus, they've started digging. I believe this might be the opera house? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Wow, I didn't realize they'd already broken ground - haven't been over to campus in some time. I think you're right, that looks like the location that was previously indicated for the new facility. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 My dog wants Rice to fix the fountain between Baker and the Biz School. It's been broken this entire semester and she likes to lay in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The Shepherd School has come a long way since the days when its practice rooms were consigned to the basement of Herman Brown Hall (the building that housed the Math and Math Sci departments), almost as an afterthought. Of course, that was back in the days when pretty much everything at Rice that wasn't related to engineering was an afterthought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Despite actually breaking ground earlier (complete with a giant pile of dirt when I checked it out on Friday), they are now having the official groundbreaking on Thursday: http://news.rice.edu/2017/12/04/rice-to-host-groundbreaking-for-new-music-building-dec-7/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbs315 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It has gotten bigger, but not by that much. It's about 3800 undergrad and was 2800 when I started (in 2003). The 6700 includes grad students too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
