Wednesday News Roundup: The Local Edition

For this week’s mid-week dose of architectural news, we turn to some stories rather close to home.

Leading off, on the education front, the architecture schools at Rice and the University of Houston have new deans, both of them women. In this story, from the Houston Chronicle, they talk about how, despite their different approaches, they see collaboration as key.

Heading just to the north, this article outlines how the natural gas industry aims to transform downtown Oklahoma City—in a greener fashion than you might imagine.

While this review is of a building “out west,” it’s by hometown-based firm HKS—the folks behind one of our newest architectural icons, Cowboys Stadium.

And, finally, firmly back in Big D, just miles from the Center in fact, here’s an update on the plans for the new Parkland Hospital.
