University of Houston begins construction on $65M technology building in Sugar Land
Exciting changes are underway at the University of Houston Sugar Land Campus with the construction of the impressive Technology Building-Sugar Land Academic Building 2 (SAB2). This three-story marvel, spanning 75,000 square feet, marks a significant milestone in the University of Houston Sugar Land Campus expansion.
Jay Neal, associate vice president, of academic affairs, and chief operating officer for UH at Sugar Land, emphasized the significance of this expansion, stating that the new building will not only accommodate the growing needs of the university but also strengthen its technology-driven initiatives. This forward-thinking approach is in line with UH’s strategic vision to elevate its standing among the top 50 public universities in the nation
This major project follows the strategic decision by the University to merge its College of Technology and College of Engineering, solidifying its position as the third-largest engineering college in Texas. The University of Houston Sugar Land Campus expansion is aligned with the institution’s ambitious goal of securing a place among the top 50 public universities in the nation, and it’s already making progress in that direction.
Academic building 2 opening date at University of Houston Sugar Land
Scheduled for a grand opening in 2025, SAB2 will feature cutting-edge facilities such as state-of-the-art labs, modern classrooms, computer labs, student gathering areas, and spaces for meetings and advising. The prestigious SmithGroup from Detroit, Michigan, has masterfully designed the project, while the capable hands of Vaughn Construction from Houston are bringing it to life.
In 2019, the University of Houston Sugar Land Campus Expansion journey began with the inauguration of another building dedicated to the College of Technology. Subsequently, in 2022, a momentous transition began, with all programs and classes moving to this site. The new building, conveniently located adjacent to the existing one, is a pivotal part of the University expansion strategy, set to facilitate the complete transition to Sugar Land by 2025.

This project’s funding is part of the financial support allocated by the Texas Legislature in 2021 to enhance facilities across the UH System. As the University of Houston Sugar Land Campus expansion continues to evolve, it is poised to make a substantial impact on engineering and technology education. |
