Lovett Hall, Rice University

The Rice University campus is one of the most beautiful places in Houston thanks to the Mediterranean-influenced designs of Boston architects Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, who were responsible for the university’s earliest buildings. Our 90-minute, docent-guided walking tour circles the campus, exploring the history of the university itself, the story and murder of its founder and the development of Rice’s signature architectural style. 

The group will meet at 10:15 AM in the Rice University Founder’s Court Parking Lot.  The tour will begin promptly at 10:30 AM.  You can use Entrance 1 (Main and Sunset) or Entrance 2 (Main street – closer to Founder’s Lot).   If you are not familiar with the campus, you should consider printing a copy of the campus map (CLICK HERE).  The Founder’s Court Parking Lot is visible in the lower right corner of this map.

SAAGH leaders will be present in the parking lot wearing a Shell logo shirt to help identify the meeting place.  Note:  There is a $12 (max) parking cost.  You will have to use a credit card to enter/leave the parking lot.

The tour will be led by a member of the Houston Preservation Society and last approximately 1.5 hours.   We suggest that you wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella (or similar gear) if rain is forecast.  

After the walking tour, the group will meet for lunch at Hungry’s restaurant in Rice Village at 2356 Rice Blvd. It will be a set menu with several delicious menu options.  Lunch and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the ticket price.  Hungry’s has valet parking.

Rice Alumni, please wear your university colors and apparel.
