RICE UNIVERSITY
STAFF MEMBER HONORED BY ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTS



Barbara White,
director of project management and planning at Rice University, received the
Case Study Award from the Association of University Architects.


The award, established
to highlight unique planning and design problems on university campuses, was
given in recognition of White’s innovative assessment of two design proposals
for reconstructing Rice’s Fondren Library.


The award was presented
at the AUA’s annual conference at the University of Kansas in
June.


 



Rice University is consistently ranked one of America’s
best teaching and research universities. It is distinguished by its: size-2,700
undergraduates and 1,500 graduate students; selectivity-10 applicants for each
place in the freshman class; resources-an undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio
of 5-to-1, and the fourth largest endowment per student among private American
universities; residential college system, which builds communities that are both
close-knit and diverse; and collaborative culture, which crosses disciplines,
integrates teaching and research, and intermingles undergraduate and graduate
work. Rice’s wooded campus is located in the nation’s fourth largest city and on
America’s South Coast.
