Vision Set for UH Downtown Construction

Within the next few years, the University of Houston Downtown (UHD) plans to open a Crime and Urban Issues Data Analysis Center and a new Idea Hub and Entrepreneurship Center. Additionally, UHD is expanding to 1801 Main St., Houston, and will be referred to as UHD@1801 Main or The Launchpad. The university will occupy the entire 10th floor, which includes 17,000 square feet of office and classroom space. It will house a career center annex, continuing education office and the office of alumni relations.

By 2030, new buildings—including student housing, a convocation center and a performing arts center—are set to be developed.

By 2040, UHD will renovate existing buildings and build new construction in the Warehouse District and Downtown District.

By 2050, the university will complete a campus expansion with residential housing, academic buildings, supporting facilities and green space.

UHD currently occupies 40 acres in Downtown Houston with satellite locations in Northwest Houston and inside Lone Star College-University Park.
