LTAWACS Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yay we have two entries in this list. Discovery Green should easily win this. And where is this "Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion in Houston, Texas"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yay we have two entries in this list. Discovery Green should easily win this. And where is this "Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion in Houston, Texas"?Ditto on the Yay. Whatever attributes the Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion may possess, the Rice campus remains somewhat insular. Not many Houstonians take time - or feel comfortable - touring this inner city island. While I'm happy that this building contributes to campus life for Rice students, it cannot claim to have had a major benefit for the majority of Houstonians.Discovery Green has been a fairly spectacular success. It has become a destination, something many people can enjoy. Hope we get the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
