The University Center and Associated Facilities and the Division of Student Affairs, in partnership with Facilities, Planning and Construction hired Holzman Moss Architecture to provide professional design and planning services for a Master Plan for the University Center Complex (University Center and University Center Underground) and the University Center Satellite (UC Satellite). Holzman Moss is an architectural planning company based in New York which specializes in Student Life and University planning projects and is specifically a leader in the University Center / College Union profession.

Holzman Moss was selected by a review committee, composed of students, staff, and administrators, for their ability to be creative, have a student-focused mentality, and their superior work performance at peer institutions both within the State of Texas and across the United States.

This project called for action in four (4) main areas: Market Analysis, Facility Assessments, Feasibility Recommendations, and Cost Estimates for each identified recommendation.

We are hopeful that this project will create a roadmap as to how the University Center Complex and the UC Satellite will complement and support the future growth of the University of Houston community, and continue to provide services, facilities, and programs for UH students, faculty and staff at a Top Tier institution level.
