HOUSTON — Hoar Construction has completed the $31.2 million, 78,000-square-foot University of Houston Science Teaching Lab building and is planning to add 12,000 square feet of research space to the facility. Hoar will complete the unfinished shell space on the fourth floor of the property. Each teaching lab of the facility includes six workstations, fume hoods, instrumentation benches, locked drawers for personal lab supplies, multi-media capabilities and a lounge on each floor. The construction is part of the Board of Regents' pursuit of Tier One status, which The Carnegie Foundation granted in January 2011. The pursuit included $240 million of construction projects to the university.
