Description.

The University of Houston Welcome Center, designed by STOA, functions as the primary gateway to campus, blending practical student services with a bold architectural identity. The 28,000 sq. ft. facility houses a visitors’ center, one-stop academic services, and ground-level retail, while integrating seamlessly with a multi-level, 1,500-car parking structure. Its modern brick and glass façade, accented with red UH branding, creates a striking presence that reflects the university’s spirit and accessibility. The design not only enhances the campus arrival experience but also provides a welcoming and efficient hub for students, visitors, and the community.
