Indian-American Alumni Offer Support for UH
In recognition of the supportive environment they encountered at the University of Houston (UH), two prominent Indian-American families have provided crucial financial support for a new research and engineering building on the UH campus.
Construction on the $51 million Multidisciplinary Research and Engineering Building began this fall, with occupancy scheduled for 2016. The new building is designed to encourage collaboration and will house core facilities shared by researchers from departments around the campus, including high-performance computing facilities, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer lab and imaging facilities.
With four siblings who all are alumni of the UH Cullen College of Engineering, the Mehta family, together with UH engineering graduate Durga Agrawal and his wife, Sushila, have made significant contributions to the building. Each family will have a floor dedicated in honor of their gifts. The ground floor will be named the Mehta Family Engineering Research Center and will house a High Performance Computational Center, five state-of-the-art wet labs, a new Mass Spectrometry Lab, a large multipurpose room, conference room and student lab. The second floor will be the Durga and Sushila Agrawal Floor and will include offices for the Division of Research’s High Performance Computational Center, engineering wet labs, a conference room, and a lounge area and break room.
UH President Renu Khator said the gifts highlight the University’s global student body.
“We continue to take pride in the University of Houston’s international stature, serving students, scholars and researchers from around the world who are working to address global problems,” she said. “The enlightened generosity of the Mehta and Agrawal families is helping to build a world-class facility that allows UH to remain a welcoming and innovative place for this important work.”
