There is also a full-circle element to this project: Much of the construction team is made up of UH graduates, including some who once took construction management classes in the very building they are now helping replace! 🦺

Even as the old building comes down, pieces of it will remain part of the future. Some of the Technology Annex’s limestone was reclaimed to be reused in construction of the Innovation Hub.

The Technology Annex is coming down, but part of its story will live on. First occupied in 1941, the building helped serve generations of UH students. Now, the site is being cleared for the University of Houston’s new Innovation Hub.
