Don Dennis has been selected to lead the Capital Excellence Initiative, which aims to enhance the way the university oversees capital projects. Capital projects consist of the construction of new buildings or the renovation of existing facilities.
The goal of the initiative is to ensure that the investment in the physical campus aligns with the university's vision and strategy, provides greater transparency for stakeholders, supports Rice’s 2030 carbon-neutral goal, and efficiently allocates resources to build spaces that meet the needs of our diverse campus community. The initiative is just beginning with stakeholder interviews where lessons learned, and ideas for continuous improvement are being captured.
