Huff House Renovations
Near Brown College Masters' House and Jones College
Project Manager: JouJou Zebdaoui

O’Connor House was recently renamed in honor of alumnus Peter Huff '59 and his wife, Nancy Larson Huff. The Huffs' generous gift to the university’s Centennial Campaign funded renovations of the house, including a two-story enlargement on the southeast corner that created more space for alumni gatherings on campus. The renovations maintained the scale and character of the original structure, while increasing the functionality of the house. The house has been the residence of five Rice Presidents and their families since 1949 and now houses the Office of Alumni Affairs and the Center for Student Professional Development.
