Houston is the fourth largest city in the USA and so it should not surprise anyone that our fair city has some excellent universities - one of which is
Rice University. I had to visit Rice U. today (Tuesday, Dec. 30) to discuss plans for a research project at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering which our company intends to support in 2009. Even though today was officially a vacation day for me, I didn't mind going to Rice for a few hours of work. Besides being a great university with some 400 world-renowned instructors, the Rice campus offers visitors some of the finest examples of
architecture. And since the weather today was perfect (only a few clouds were visible), I brought along our new Canon 50D digital SLR and can now share some photos of the campus with my readers. Enjoy!!
Lovett Hall - one of THE main buildings on the Rice campus. This
courtyard is where the annual graduation ceremony is usually held.
Rear view of
Lovett Hall.
Close up view of the arches along one of the walkways.
Another impressive-looking building in the central campus ....
A statue of the
university founder, William Marsh Rice.
And, lastly, the official university seal!
