Houston, Texas — According to state and local development sources, University of Houston plans to invest $35 Million to build out 750,000 square feet of new space in Houston. The company plans to occupy the new space at University of Houston – Centennial Plaza in Houston, on or about July 1, 2027. According to the company website The University of Houston’s proud heritage of academic excellence dates back to its founding in 1927, when its primary focus was training future teachers. At that time, it was called Houston Junior College and classes were held on the San Jacinto High School campus. Over the years, we grew and prospered, becoming the University of Houston in 1934. Two years later, the institution acquired land for a permanent campus, and its first building opened in 1939. In 1947, the institution launched one of its many rich traditions by adopting the cougar, later named Shasta, as its official mascot. The university became a state institution in 1963 and joined the newly created University of Houston System in 1977. With nationally ranked education programs, cutting-edge research centers, world-class libraries and state-of-the-art facilities, Cougars have the learning resources they need to excel. At the University of Houston, we spur innovation by encouraging the very spark of an idea to the transfer of knowledge and technology. The UH innovation ecosystem has a rich history of advancing Houstons innovation economy. More than 5,000 Houston companies conduct business abroad. UH supports the citys international reach as a top producer of Fulbright U.S. Students. UH Fulbrighters travel the world, gaining experiences they can contribute to the citys workforce and its global impact.
