The Architects’ Newspaper spotlights the renovation of MD Anderson Hall, designed by Chicago-based practice Kwong Von Glinow. The project transforms the heart of the Rice School of Architecture into a light-filled, flexible environment that encourages openness, collaboration, and connection.
Penned by Alaina Griffin, the article highlights how the renovation strikes a balance between the legacy of the building, initially completed in 1981 by architect James Stirling, and contemporary needs for teaching, research, and community engagement. Light-filled studios, flexible classrooms, and reconfigured common spaces support the school’s mission to foster dialogue across disciplines and strengthen its role as a hub for architectural discourse.
This recognition underscores the school’s continued investment in cultivating environments that advance architectural education while welcoming broader publics into the life of the school.
