UH Graduate College of Social Work Building to Undergo $3.9 Million Renovation

RDLR Architects is servings as the architect and designer of record for the University of Houston’s Graduate College of Social Work which is undergoing a $3.9 million renovation. 

The University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work is breaking ground on a $3.9 million building improvement project. The entire first floor of the four-story GCSW building will be renovated to create modern learning environments that encourage collaboration between researchers, students and community partners. In addition, the project includes a new lobby and entry pavilion to enhance the college’s visibility on campus. The project is funded in part by donations from the Mehta Family Foundation, Houston Endowment, Hamill Foundation, Frees Foundation and Creuzot family.

The future lobby will include lounge and table seating centered around a display wall and interactive installations that reflect the college’s mission to achieve sustainable social, racial, economic and political justice for all. Classroom configurations, acoustics and technology will be improved to encourage active learning.
