Quote:The new student center project has been delayed again, dean of undergraduates Bridget Gorman announced in an Aug. 21 email obtained by the Thresher. Rice has chosen to ‘reset’ the project, firing the architecture firm, Adjaye Associates. ...

David Adjaye, the founder and principal of Adjaye Associates, was accused of sexual misconduct by three former employees in July. Rice had previously said they were “very much reconsidering” Adjaye Associates’ role in campus projects.

A spokesperson for Rice did not say exactly why the university fired Adjaye Associates, nor did they clarify if Adjaye’s design will be completely scrapped. ...

The Moody Foundation donated $100 million for the new student center in 2021, and Gorman wrote that donor funds are still allocated to the new student center. The Thresher was unable to determine how much money Rice has spent on the project thus far.

The project has already been delayed multiple times. Construction was slated to begin in fall 2022 and be completed by fall 2023. Then, Rice postponed the construction by a year, which Gorman at the time attributed to economic conditions. Demolition was expected to begin at the end of the spring 2023 semester. Now, the RMC will likely stand through the end of 2024.

FTR, the name of the new student center will be the "Moody Center for Student Life and Opportunity." (https://news.rice.edu/news/2021/moody-fo...university) Will students call it simply the "MC"? I doubt that "MCSLO" will get any traction.

Moody Center for Extraordinary Students Creating for Humanity, Exploration and Recuperation, with a design to match.
