UH Downtown would like to build a new Wellness and Success Center. Due to campus growth, a larger recreation facility is required to accommodate the student body. In addition to the exercise component, the new building will also offer other amenities, such as healthy eating options, counseling space and classrooms for health and fitness learning.

Ah there they are. UH Downtown has the missiles armed and ready for battle haha. In a previous firm I worked for, the nickname for the exhausts you see on top (a trend in newer schools) would be refereed too as missile silos.

With legislators taking notice of UHD’s growth and listening to suggestions for future needs from faculty, students and alumni, state lawmakers approved authorization to implement a fee that will support a new Wellness and Success Center. This is the first time in three decades that UHD was granted this authority.

Muñoz said the $35-40 million facility will provide spaces for sports, fitness, counseling, studying and socializing.

It's probably considerably more expensive but I am surprised they didn't try to put the pool on a higher floor. Does anyone have a picture of this area during Harvey?

 

Maybe they think it's cheaper just to clean out the dirt. Makes sense. Either way, this is a beautiful addition to our area.

 

Edit: Hmmm...

They raised the grade of the building they just built. Don’t you think that they would do the same for this building?  I mean, it’s not like they forgotten about Harvey. 

Either way, gives more reason to build the North Canal.

We're mixing locations here.  The thread is for the main campus and the Harvey flood pictures are of the Downtown campus.

Paco Jones stuck a post on the new UH-D building in the general UH thread, which made this all slightly confusing.

Well, I was just responding to the renderings posted. That's the downtown campus.
