    Rice University - Campus (various locations)


    Comment on Facebook

    Rice is a private, independent university dedicated to the "advancement of letters, science, and art." Occupying a distinctive, tree-shaded, nearly 300-acre campus only a few miles from downtown Houston, Rice attracts a diverse group of highly talented students with a range of academic studies that includes humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, architecture, music, and business management (graduate study only).

    The Rice campus is approximately 285 acres of level ground, planted with more than 4,000 trees. The 2.9 mile campus perimeter is enclosed by a hedge of wax leaf ligustrum and a double row of live oak trees. No public roads cross the campus.

    Designed over a period of nearly a century, the university campus comprises 70 major buildings, which represent many of the changes in style of 20th century American architecture.

    The design of the university’s oldest buildings, drawn from the medieval architecture of Southern Europe, uniquely adapted the conventions of the collegiate, Gothic Revival style to the coastal plain of Texas. Red, clay-tile roofs, rose-hued brick, cloistered passageways, and elaborate stonework characterizes these buildings, designed by the Boston architect, Ralph Adams Cram. In addition to the general plan of the campus (1910), the firm of Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson designed the following buildings.
