In late September of 2014, construction began on the Houston Basketball Development Facility, the next step in Houston’s plan to compete on a national scale.
The process began with the construction of TDECU Stadium, which was finished last summer in time for the Cougars 2014-2015 season.
The development facility is phase two in a plan for Houston to re-energize their athletic programs and return their amenities to a world-class level.
“President (Renu) Khator…(Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics) Hunter Yuracheck, Tilman Fertitta, everybody on the Board of Regents, I thank them for their commitment to this program,” said head men’s basketball coach Kelvin Sampson.
