Valhalla Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 So fast! i think the fastest construction occurs on university campuses because they have to take advantage of breaks where students are away from school. If only there was a way to apply the same pressure to the rest of developers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Rice gets $100M grant for future student center, new endowments Brittany Britto, Staff writer Sep. 22, 2021 Rice University has received $100 million from the Moody Foundation to build a new student center on campus and to create endowments that support student opportunity and success. The planned Moody Center for Student Life and Opportunity is intended to become a focal point for the private university and will be designed by Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates, the same architect who designed the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. With Rice’s plans to increase the undergraduate student body by 20 percent by fall 2025, the 80,000-square-foot center is expected to have three levels, with ample space for a range of student programming. It will replace the existing Rice Memorial Center, which was built more than 60 years ago to accommodate a fifth of the student population expected over the next four years. The facility will include a multicultural center, a rooftop auditorium, a variety of gathering and event spaces, and a memorial to 10 Navy ROTC students from Rice who died in 1953 when their plane crashed en route to a training mission in Virginia. Some elements of the existing center, including its chapel and the cloisters, will remain. Construction is expected to begin in early 2022 and finish in late 2023. Rice President David Leebron, who plans to step down in June, envisions the center to be a place where students will “broaden their engagements and experiences in ways that will empower their success throughout their lives.” “It will also enable us to both connect more deeply with Houston and with the world,” Leebron said in a written statement. “This will be the epitome of what an inclusive and outward-looking student center should be. It will serve the 21st-century understanding of the essential elements of student education, which go far beyond the classroom experience.” The charitable foundation’s gift will also establish the Moody Fund for Student Opportunity, which will support student programs hosted in the student center and throughout the university. Elle Moody, a Rice alumna and a trustee of both the university and the Galveston-based Moody Foundation, said she believes the gift “will have a profound and lasting effect on the campus and its students.” The foundation’s $100 million gift is one of two of the largest single donations the university has received, matching the $100 million grant from the Robert A. Welch Foundation last September to create Rice’s Welch Institute. brittany.britto@chron.com 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The campus just gets more defined and unified every day. With the completion of the western end of the inner loop around the newly landscaped, Brockman Hall for Opera, the Moody Center for the Arts, the Turrell Skyspace, Autry Court and the new Kraft Hall for Social Science, it has really solidified the southwestern edge of campus. It will be exciting to see how the new student center by Adjaye will fit into the mix, being at the center of the universe. The new murals are a nice addition. I recognize the black and white floral drawing to be by Karin Broker, a longtime professor of Printmaking, Drawing and Dramatic Arts at Rice. She's won numerous awards and has been shown in Houston by McClain gallery. I'm not familiar with the other artists work but both are amazing. I also can't wait for the new Abercrombie Science Laboratory to complete that plaza. Last I wonder what's in store for the northwestern quadrant of intramural fields. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
