editor Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Got an e-mail last night saying that the Hilton at the University of Houston is going to get a big renovation. The rooms will be enlarged by moving the windows out to the edge of the building's frame. You can see how they're currently recessed in this photo: http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/Images/Buildings/UniversityofHouston/UHHilton-001.jpg Sample room post-renovation: http://cnhiltoncollege.smugmug.com/photos/572924577_bJVNP-M.jpg http://cnhiltoncollege.smugmug.com/photos/572924660_PCHHv-M.jpg More pics here: http://cnhiltoncollege.smugmug.com/gallery/8673583_Ny74a#572924712_r9p5v 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen4rmptown Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 did it say how much the renovation would cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I hope they'll do something to the outside as well. I know Brutalist style architecture is recognized for its unpainted concrete surfaces, but the photo in the first post looks like something out of the 1980s USSR! Maybe they have some paint leftover from the painting of the Moody Towers they can use to spruce up the exterior of the place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
