Simbha Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm surprised I wasn't able to find this on HAIF. I ran a few searches, but nothing came up. Apologies if this is a repeat thread... Swamplot reported in May that the Univ. of St. Thomas will be building a new performance arts center near the Menil campus. The article indicates that the building will be four stories and just under 100k square feet. Here's the accompanying rendering: http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/st-thomas-performing-arts-center.jpg University of St. Thomas's Performing Arts Center Moving in Next to Menil Campus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog08 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Wow indeed. I love that building. Considering the University light rail is shown in this video maybe it will be built within a decade.. and a half? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to Bob McNair about this. He's been known to fund a theatre project when he's bored with the Texans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 http://www.hbu.edu/About-HBU/The-Campus/The-Future-of-HBUs-Campus.aspx it looks like they are planning to build a new science building and some more additions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm guessing this probably some group of alum's who are dropping some serious dough to make this happen. Even if that is the case I'm actually pretty impressed with this master plan. This would most certainly make that university better equipped to compete with other schools especially the more recognized St. Thomas. Would be nice to confirm if most of these are on their way to getting built so they could get their own thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) On 7/18/2017 at 10:01 PM, Urbannizer said: https://www.studioredarchitects.com/university-of-st-thomas-performing-arts-center-houston-texas/ This looks good. Of course, the gardens that are currently on that lot (at least as of the latest google streetview) are also quite pleasant. Hopefully we don't get too much more development around the Menil, and they can keep the traffic on West Alabama/Graustark and off Sul Ross. Less is more over there, in general.

CaptainJilliams Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Any updates on this project? Is construction expected to start anytime soon or is this project delayed/dead? I'd love to see this kind of project get built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
