Hines College of Architecture

The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture is the architecture school of the University of Houston, a public research university in Houston, Texas.

It was founded in 1956 and is one of twelve academic colleges of the university.

It offers both undergraduate and graduate level degree programs.

In March 1997, Gerald D. Hines donated $7 million to the College of Architecture and the school responded by renaming the architecture school after him.

It was later moved to the Cullen College of Engineering but the student and faculty spaces are still located on the third floor of the building.

The UH College of Architecture building designed by Philip Johnson , modeled after Claude Nicolas Ledoux 's School of Education.
