Air conditioning repairs?

During our Owl Days tour, our guide explained that some of the older colleges
were on line for air conditioning repairs. Will all the colleges be ready --
with nice cool air in each room -- by the time the freshmen arrive in August?

Thanks!

I don't think you're going to have any AC problems at Rice. The renovations on the old colleges are much more than just air conditioning repairs. Those aren't going to happen for a while, though. They've got to finish the new colleges before they can start significant renovations on the older colleges. By the way, the colleges getting repaired are Lovett, Will Rice, and Baker.

I have yet to enter any Rice building that wasn't cool to downright freezing. As air conditioning is very important in Houston, they won't let you down.

Every building at Rice is air conditioned. The south college improvements are individual thermostats in every room.
