This is an on-going project which will result in mounting fourteen feet high University of Houston-Downtown letters on the south side of OMB. These letters will also light up at night, making UHD visible and recognizable daytime and night time.

OMB FLOOD MITIGATION DEVICES INSTALLED

Flood gates have been installed on the First-floor openings and CMU coverings of One Main building. These devices will assist in the mitigation of adverse effects of any flood event that may occur on the premises. They will be fully installed prior to high-level flood alerts from National Weather authorities.

UHD BEAUTIFICATION & RECREATION

The conversion of the existing Retention Pond was redesigned to simultaneously serve as a seasonal field for soccer practice and an area of well being and beautification.

The Pedestal which stands as a landmark feature was based on the concept of a water well built with bricks surrounded by plants native to Texas and black pebbles mimicking riverbank pebbles.
