KinkaidAlum Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 So Rice is creating a new residential college! Makes sense since the plan is to add 800-1,200 undergraduate students bringing Rice to 4,500-5,000 undergrads. Great move, especially if they can keep the academic profile the same. My dream for the city is to have Rice get to 10,000 or so undergrads and have UH improve to be a top 30-50 public institution. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Actually the Hanszen College rebuild replaces a very old section of Hanszen College but I think it adds more rooms than the previous version. I still think they will have to add more rooms and probably build more colleges to get to the amount they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 They are going to add a new, twelfth residential college, in addition to the Hanszen rebuild. It was announced earlier this year but I'm not sure when they plan to have it completed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Urbannizer Posted November 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 https://news.rice.edu/news/2021/rices-new-arts-building-will-be-sarofim-hall-designed-internationally-acclaimed-firm Rice University’s new home for student art will be named Susan and Fayez Sarofim Hall, and it will be designed by a team helmed by an alumnus with a deep appreciation for the arts at Rice and in Houston. Charles Renfro will lead Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s design team, which has been chosen for Sarofim Hall following a national competition. With architecture honoring the legacy of the former Rice Media Center and Art Barn, the new Sarofim Hall will be an inventive take on the prefabricated building, incorporating exhibition areas, labs, studios, shops, faculty offices and other facilities serving as collaboration points for artists across mediums. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The project had also switched architects over the years. New York-based Diller Scofidio + Renfro — tapped in 2014 — successfully completed the pre-design stage, but by last year Allan Greenberg Architect LLC had begun on the schematic and design stages of the new building. Allan Greenberg has offices in New York and Alexandria, Virginia. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) According to this old Rice Thresher article the timeline sounds correct, start 1st quarter '22 and completion by fall 2023. "Rice hopes to begin construction on the new student center by the first quarter of 2022. Adjaye Associates, an architecture firm with offices in Accra, Ghana, London and New York, will design Rice’s new student center, which is expected to be complete by fall 2023." https://www.ricethresher.org/article/2020/11/award-winning-architecture-firm-selected-to-design-new-student-center Edited February 15, 2022 by hindesky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarofim Hall, which is scheduled to break ground this year and be completed in 2024, will add to Rice’s already vibrant cultural district that includes the Moody Center for the Arts (which opened in 2017), the newly constructed Brockman Hall for Opera, and Shepherd School of Music’s Alice Pratt Brown Hall." https://www.bdcnetwork.com/campus-performing-arts-centers-and-museums-can-be-talent-magnets-universities 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must've been anticipating you posting it. :-) The plans for Pub to share space with other vendors don't sound great, especially since it appears the administration made that decision without bothering to consult anyone involved with Pub management beforehand. And it strikes me as BS that it was as simple as an either/or issue when it came to Pub having its own dedicated space vs. dining space for grad students. If it had been a priority, I'm sure they could have found a way to accommodate both needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
