The University of Houston System at Sugar Land (also referred to as UHS at Sugar Land or UHSSL) is a multi-institution teaching center in Sugar Land, Texas. Three University of Houston System universities—University of Houston, UH–Clear Lake, and UH–Victoria—offer junior, senior, and graduate level classes at UHSSL.
The multi-institution teaching center was founded in 1995 as a higher education "teaching center" of the University of Houston System. It was originally named the Fort Bend Institute and later the University of Houston System at Fort Bend prior to its current name. In 2002, the institution moved to its current campus. On April 23, 2009, a $37 million USD facility was opened on the campus dubbed "Brazos Hall".
The UH System at Sugar Land is designed to allow students who live in Sugar Land or eastern Fort Bend County to take upper-division and graduate-level college courses from three of the four constituent institutions of the University of Houston System. At the center, students can earn bachelor or master degrees in 32 academic areas.
