Gateway Project connecting Rice University campus to Rice Village

under construction

The Gateway Project is a construction initiative to connect Rice University campus to Rice Village through a pedestrian-friendly corridor. It includes extending Amherst Street, creating a new campus entrance on Greenbriar Drive, and adding trees, lighting, green space, and modern drainage and sewer systems. The project also involves mixed-use developments such as retail, multifamily housing, restaurants, and a grocery store. Additionally, Rice Stadium will undergo significant renovations including a new west concourse building, reduced seating capacity, and new indoor practice pavilion.
