"Rice University Housing’s latest venture took 18 months to build, set back half a year by supply chain shortages, storms and a trucking protest in Canada. Students in the Hanszen residential college had temporarily lived in a nearby out-of-commission dormitory, making the new wing highly anticipated."

Progress photos of the Ralph S. O'Conner Building For Engineering & Science at Rice University.

These were posted last month by B&D Land Contractors.


The caption from the Instagram post:

"The Ralph S. O'Conner Building For Engineering And Science is now underway at Rice University, slated for completion in the summer of 2023.

Our team is handling hardscape and landscape projects on site."

This is a brand new structure in the lowlands area. Wild guess, but I wonder if the Williams Marsh Rice statue will be placed on top here? Anyone with inside info? Could also be a viewing area for wild life since I saw a couple with cameras and binoculars in the marsh.

Unlikely. They have stated that they plan to keep the statue within the Academic Quadrangle but relocate it to a position of less prominence than it currently occupies.

Been lurking on HAIF for years, but decided to finally get my first post in after viewing this thread...

The Rice campus has really become, and is becoming a jewel for this city. Just a beautiful campus with great architecture.

I preferred the Rice Campus as it was around 1980. But, I'm just a grump old man. The new buildings are very nice, but I dislike the loss of open space. I also disliked how Leebron remade the school.

Rice University will open two new residential colleges and a dining hall to accommodate a growing student body, institution leaders said announced.

The additions will bring the number of residential colleges to 13, expanding on a system that is considered a hallmark of the Rice undergraduate experience. University officials expect construction will be completed on the colleges and the new “servery” dining facility by fall 2026.

If they tear down the old Sid high rise, I could see how Rice might fit in 2 more residential colleges around the "John and Ann Grove".  With off-campus rental prices becoming increasingly affordable, it makes sense that on campus housing will be a priority in the coming decades.
