The University of Houston is tearing down an 85-year-old building to make way for an $82 million Innovation Hub. The Houston Business Journal reports the school will raze the vintage Technology Annex Building to build the new 78,000-square-foot high-tech offering. The Technology Annex Building’s exterior limestone will be salvaged.
Vaughn Construction is managing the project.
The hub will house the Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship, the Energy Transition Institute, a makerspace, and advanced science and engineering laboratory space. The Energy Transition Institute leads top-notch research on decarbonization and sustainability, alongside laboratories dedicated to the Presidential Frontier Faculty program, a university-wide initiative to recruit top research faculty in critical areas such as health, energy, security, and sustainability.
The project has been in the works since at least 2021, when UH received $52 million for thaeproject.
