BaderJF Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Walk through the new Student Center after class, very impressive building, utterly massive.It's nice and massive but a lot of wasted space for only 2 fast food chains, will see after they open the other place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 There are actually three along with a health food place, ice cream place, Starbucks, and convenience store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 in my opinion, the new UH STUDENT CENTER is completely cool! nonetheless, many of us are still awaiting the new TEXAS DKR / SEZ athletic facilities renderings / concepts that are forthcoming. should be pretty soon... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The video doesn't give any clues as to where it will be. Doesn't show any other buildings nor intersections but I'd wager it'll be plopped down next to the first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmitch94 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Wow amazing stuff they have planned. I know the quads are not that special but I do like some of the older architecture that they provide. It will be amazing to see all this happen too bad I only have two more years left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So sad that they are planning to tear down the original Quad dorms. I think they could easily repurpose them and offer them as a less-expensive option than Cougar Village/Cougar Place. The arms race at colleges is getting down right ridiculous. The new dorms at UH are so much nicer than those I saw at Rollins, Eckerd, USC, Claremont-McKenna, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, and a few other schools I just took my nephew to on his college search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UH has to have nicer dorms to attract students, whereas other schools may not. My daughter is at UT and Jester, is still well...Jester. Not much has changed since my husband and I were there in the 80's....Private dorms/housing is pretty nice, though. Our son will be at Stanford in the fall...the dorms are are not "nice" there either....I live near UH and love what it is doing to transform/rebrand itself into an top tier public urban campus, in terms of academics and facilities.

KinkaidAlum Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I love what is happening at UH as well. However, the arms race is coming at a price. The new dorms are not cheap. Moody and the Quad are relatively more affordable than Village/Lofts but not much. The plans to replace the quads include "townhomes" and I have to imagine that those will cost a pretty penny.

Glad I graduated A&M when I did because its getting worse there -.- Because students totally deserved to live with luxury furnishings... Gotta have that granite counter top!

KinkaidAlum Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The new 2020 plan is out and it calls for tearing down the Quads. In their place will be "townhomes" and another larger dorm. The crazy thing about UH now is that despite having a beautiful new(ish) REC Center, every new dorm also has small workout rooms. It just seems like overkill. Is it too hard to walk across campus to jump on an elliptical machine? And yes, the Calhoun Lofts come with granite countertops, stainless kitchens, and even a killer roof plaza (the views from there are sick). The lofts were original geared towards PhD/Masters level students but have since been opened up to older undergrads as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably appall one of my former co-workers, who lived in an un-airconditioned dorm when he attended A&M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston should really strive to make UH the third Texas flagship university (quite frankly we need a major university in each region) as it could really change the landscape of Houston. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
