SHSU to Celebrate Opening of The Woodlands Center

The grand opening celebration of the new four-story, 144,164 square-foot The Woodlands Center will be May 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. The May 3 edition of the Houstonian discusses the new building:

The public is invited to attend the ribbon ceremony and the dedication of the Lois W. Kolkhorst Atrium presented by SHSU President Dana Gibson.

The Woodlands Center was designed to offer more space for programs provided at The University Center with new classrooms, labs, enrollment counseling, advising, administrative services and a large parking garage.

According to SHSU Heritage Magazine, the Lone Star College System provided SHSU with seven acres of land near The University Center in return for the use of 50 percent of the classrooms and free parking from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. until approximately 2022.
