oin your fellow ULI Members for a tour of the newly opened Sarofim Hall on Rice University Campus. Now the home of the Department of Art, Sarofim Hall brings the department together in one building, allowing for collaboration among practices.

 

About Sarofim Hall:

Rice’s new home for the student arts is designed by the internationally acclaimed firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro and a team helmed by Rice alumnus Charles Renfro ’89. With architecture honoring the legacy of the former Rice Media Center and Art Barn, the new Sarofim Hall will be an inventive take on the prefabricated building, incorporating exhibition areas, labs, studios, shops, faculty offices and other facilities serving as collaboration points for artists across mediums. The striking design for Sarofim Hall frees the steel frame from its skin, transforming a hermetic building into an extroverted mini-campus, welcoming students, faculty and the general public into its protected exterior spaces to engage with the arts at Rice.
