Rice students design new Menil addition

·

Rice Building Workshop, an architecture class, was chosen by the Menil Collection to build a cafe near the museum to serve both visitors and the surrounding neighborhood. The cafe, which will be in the backyard of the Menil Bookstore, was inspired by the style of taco trucks. Students built a site model that is a representation of what the cafe will look like (above).
