AUSTIN, Texas (Covering Katy News) – The Texas Legislature significantly reduced the University of Houston's $340 million funding request for new facilities in its suburban campuses when finalizing the 2025-27 state budget.
UH had sought $175 million for a health technology facility in Sugar Land and $165 million for an academic building in Katy. However, lawmakers approved $20 million over two years specifically for program expansion at UH Katy and no funding for the Sugar Land Campus.
