"Rice unveils plan for new student center"

https://www.ricethresher.org/article/2022/02/rice-unveils-plan-for-new-student-center

I'm sure the students will feel comfortable studying there. And that's a great motivation in my opinion. In the student center you can easily do your homework and always have access to https://writix.com/assignment-writing-service where there is a large database of study materials. That should help a lot of students a lot.

Pretty interesting project

Sounds like a stadium update is on the horizon.

“How do we take this grand old structure that’s so meaningful to so many people and try to modernize it in a way that’s effective for our current students, student-athletes and fans? That’s the challenge,” Karlgaard said. “We’re in a really good place with that. I think in the next month or so we’ll be able to show people what it is that we plan to do. And for those that have seen the concepts around the stadium modernization plan, they’re really, really excited about it.”

Just for your eyes. A new exhibition opened to a crowd tonight at Moody gallery at Rice.

"Urban Impressions" It features multi disciplinary works by an international group of artists.

It also features some local Houston artists works. For anyone interested in urban planning, art and multimedia you don't want to miss it. Check out Mary Flanagans AI works and the collaboration with Rice students. Ric Lowes major painting in the main gallery is amazing and the photo montaged city murals by the Japanese artist Sohei Nishino are pretty amazing. A couple of very nice Julie Mehretu works on paper. The whole show is an interesting statement on urban dynamics. They had a nice chili spiced beer provided by Astral brewing made in conjunction with one of the artist work. I recommend the show.

Thanks! Sounds awesome. I would also recommend the Escher exhibit at MFAH for those interested in dense, perambulable spaces. The earlier (pre-illusions phase) sketches in particular are awesome.

"What does it mean to live in a city today? That is the question Frauke V. Josenhans, curator for the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University, challenged 15 artists to answer with “Urban Impressions: Experiencing the Global Contemporary Metropolis,” an exhibition on view through mid-December."

Huge air conditioned tent close to the front entrance, I wonder if these are more classrooms or for a special event.

Likely related to the inauguration of the new president - there are multiple events taking place this week between Thursday and Saturday, with the formal investiture scheduled for Saturday morning in the Academic Quadrangle.
