Adjaye Associates to create student hub for Rice University in Texas

An outdoor auditorium will top the student centre that Adjaye Associates is developing for Rice University's forested campus in Houston, Texas.
Slated for completion in 2023, the three-storey facility will encompass 7,400 square metres and replace the university's existing 1950s student hub called the Rice Memorial Center.
Adjaye Associates' proposal is hoped to become the new heart of the 121-hectare campus and will incorporate a distinctive rooftop auditorium, alongside a multicultural centre
