Technology Bridge Tenants

Welcome to the UH Technology Bridge! It is our pleasure to partner with you and provide the necessary information to help navigate your stay with us.

Maintenance

If there is a maintenance issue or a necessary repair, please send a request through the Service Request Form as soon as you notice the problem. You will receive a response within 24-48 hours. For any maintenance emergencies, please call Darayle Canada directly. For other emergencies, please call 911.

Forms

Have a new employee joining your team? Fill out an ePOI form and send it to technologybridge@uh.edu. This process takes at lease two weeks, so the sooner you fill this out, the better.

Other Forms

Move In

Move-In Checklist
A move-in checklist will be emailed to the company's POC. Please complete and return within 24 hours from your move-in day. Notated items will be addressed accordingly.

Condition of the Property
We work very hard to make sure you have a safe and welcoming workspace. Before any tenant moves in, we repair anything that may have been broken during the prior tenant’s residency. We also hire a professional cleaning service before you move in. We do expect that the property, at the end of the lease, is left in the same condition as when you moved.

Move-Out Checklist
Before the official lease termination date, communication will be sent to complete the move-out checklist with one of the UHTB staff members. Upon completion, the process for account closure and deposit return will begin.
