<p>DS+R Partner and Rice alumnus <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/79058/charles-renfro" target="_blank">Charles Renfro</a> will be the lead architect on the new Susan and Fayez Sarofim Hall, an updated version of Rice’s <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/rice-universitys-beloved-art-barn-demolished-11006" target="_blank">now-demolished</a> Art Barn that was originally commissioned by the <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/10-surprising-revelations-biography-de-menil-1257254" target="_blank">illustrious de Menil family</a> in 1969.</p>
<p>The Art Barn’s demolition made way for <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/2145/michael-maltzan-architecture" target="_blank">Michael Maltzan</a>’s award-winning Moody Center, which will now be joined by the new prefabricated DS+R structure, which pays homage to the erstwhile metallic barn and Media Center buildings which were themselves mass-produced by the Butler corporation in the years following World War II. Renfro says it will help consolidate interdisciplinary arts education on campus in order to better meet the demands of students and educators in this highly technical age. </p>
