PREPARING FOR GREATNESS
The University of Houston is on a quest to become a Top 50 public research university and is embarking on a landmark initiative to transform its campus in preparation for our Centennial celebration in 2027. This significant undertaking embraces our commitment to environmental responsibility, honoring green spaces while promoting sustainability and well-being – in a space that feels like home. Together, we will enhance a campus in the nation’s fourth largest city that meets the needs of today and inspires the leaders, innovators and thinkers of tomorrow.
The University of Houston is a crucial part of the fourth largest city in the country, and having a welcoming campus that everyone can be proud of is paramount. This reimagination will create a sense of place, community and learning, while also promoting health and well-being not only for our students, but for all Houstonians.
Laying the Groundwork: The Space Between
The space between – buildings, labs, dorms, athletic fields – can be what connects us and creates memories. The space between is where students, faculty, alumni, parents and friends, Houstonians of all ages can create shared experiences, enjoy our rich collection of public art, and enjoy a destination to rest, dream, and connect. On a large, diverse university campus, perhaps the public space can be what reduces the space between us.
The Centennial Project will positively impact our students, faculty and alumni while strengthening ties to our neighboring community. We envision the campus to be a hub of collaboration, inviting all to engage in various events and activities.
