Hines was chosen by the University of Houston to serve as development manager for the new Moores School of Music. This project, made possible by a gift from Rebecca and John Moores, consists of a 135,000-square-foot building that includes an 800-seat performance hall complete with proscenium and flyloft, a large rehearsal hall for the University of Houston Cougar Band, teaching studios, practice rooms, classrooms and administrative space.
