Beginning in November of 2023, temporary construction fencing will restrict access to portions of the Academic Quadrangle while landscaping teams redesign this area of the campus.
Rice looks forward to a grand opening celebration for the campus early in the fall semester of 2024. Some construction fencing will remain up in the quad until then to allow the roots of new landscape plantings to become more established. The Sallyport will be accessible for the traditional walk-through for graduates during commencement.
