King Owl Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I love it when the UH folk attempt to run smack at Rice. We completely own you in your best sport (baseball) and continue to beat you at least once each year in basketball, despite your delusional hopes at a shot at the NCAA tournament under your new coach Tom Penders. You do have a whopping one game winning streak against us in football, so congrats. Almost every other sport Rice owns you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have a whopping one game winning streak against us in football, so congrats. Almost every other sport Rice owns you. Rice owns UH? Let's look at some all-time series records: Football...UH leads 23-9 all-time. Well, Rice has gone 3-3 against UH in the last six years (which happen to be six of the worst-ever years of UH football)...You also picked up 2 wins on us in the 90's. So you did go 5-4 against UH in the last 13 years, by far the darkest period in our football history. Before 1993, Rice was 4-19 all-time against UH? Owwie. Basketball...UH leads 49-13 all-time. You broke double-digit wins in the series a year or two ago. Congrats. Baseball...Rice leads the series, 71-66 all-time. Not exactly "owning" UH all-time...but yes, Rice has absolutely dominated UH in baseball the last few years, in spite of some good UH baseball teams (several Top 10 teams for UH...but Rice always seems to be Top 3 when we're good). I will give you Women's soccer. Since you hired our coach away from us, you've taken care of business. Of course, this is all in fun, brother. I'm looking forward to the Bayou Bucket in a few weeks. Actually, I'm more looking forward to the tailgate...gotta take things one at a time. Tailgate, then football...tailgate, then football!

sevfiv Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Rice announced the $30 million gift for College #11, Duncan College. Along with new residential college #10, McMurtry College, there will be two new LEED certified buildings for Rice (and its first Gold certification). Rice University today announced a $30 million gift from Anne and Charles Duncan to support its unique residential college system. In addition, the university unveiled plans for its 11th residential college, which will be one of the most environmentally sustainable buildings ever built in Houston. The building will be named in honor of the Duncans in recognition of their long-standing commitment to both Rice and environmental conservation. http://www.media.rice.edu/media/NewsBot.as...;SnID=417075778 The school plans to implement environmentally sustainable features to the building to make it eligible to receive its first gold-level certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards program.The five-story, 324-bed Duncan College will be built concurrently with McMurtry College, and is scheduled to open for student use in the fall of 2009. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories...63&ana=e_du Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 they are relocating some, starting tomorrow apparently. not sure how many are actually going to be lostthe people were upset cause rice wasn't relocating any. a spokesperson said that they are planting more than are being cutting down. but if they are relocating that will be good.

MidtownCoog Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Lots of tree movement in Houston lately (Disco Green/Fingers, UH, Rice). That's a sign of progress, though.Just a few years ago they would have been cut and cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 looks like the chron wrote about it last night:The five-story building will include such features as a roof covered with soil and plants that reduces energy costs and prevents rain runoff and motion detectors that turn off lights in unoccupied rooms, Rice officials said in announcing the gift Tuesday.The design reflects an emerging movement among colleges and universities to transform their campuses into models of environmental sustainability.More than 300 schools, including Rice, are members of the U.S. Green Building Council, which certifies buildings as being environmentally friendly based on indoor air quality and the use of recycled construction materials, among other things.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metrop...an/5073583.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 more information about the project: Design Architect: Hopkins, Ltd. Executive Architect: Hanbury Evans Wright + Vlattas Construction manager: Linbeck Group, LP Completion: Fall 2009 and more about the trees: -The construction plan will yield a net gain of approximately 66 trees by the time all work has been completed, with the tree count increasing to 231 from its current 165 prior to construction. -The Master's House for McMurtry College was redesigned in order to preserve a 50-inch live oak tree on the site. -At all times, an arborist will supervise all work crews as they relocate or remove old trees or add protection to trees that will remain in place during construction. -Felled trees will be turned into mulch, as part of the project's goal of meeting LEED standards. -Rather than open-digging trenches to lay new utility lines, Rice contractors will bore under the large oak grove in order to avoid contact with the root systems. another rendering: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehou Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 ^^^^That's an old rendering of the two colleges that are being built basically at the same time -- McMurtry, which was the first one funded, and Duncan, which was just funded and will be the green building. I guess now they won't look so similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Here is some info about the tree situation. I was never really worried that Rice was going to get rid of their Live Oaks.Here's what's really happening. Rice planned the location and design of the new colleges to minimize impact on trees and to make optimal use of land in order to preserve even larger tracts of green space around campus. We spent considerable money to carefully design one building to preserve the oldest and largest tree at the site -- a stately 50-inch live oak that is more than 100 years old. We've invested even more to tenderly transplant 36 trees, including several that have been temporarily relocated to the university Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Not the most interesting project on campus but I think it's pretty cool that they will be using geothermal and photovoltaics, and some other neat environmental stuff.http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~emk4149/index.htmThe webcam is worth checking out. You can see the Methodist Hospital construction on the webcam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I attached a small video camera to my bike and recorded my ride around the Rice campus yesterday. Cool huh?

marmer Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 AAAAUGH! That makes me dizzy! Amazing, except for the cars and clothes this looks like it was done in 1963 with a Super 8 camera.What are you doing riding on the sidewalk? You're going to hit a pedestrian!
