UHCC

The UHCC is the only field station owned by the University of Houston. It provides a unique and essential facility for faculty doing environmental education, research, restoration, and service because it provides a large area of land ( 925 acres) where equipment or experiments can be deployed, access to natural habitat (coastal prairie), and security for equipment and experiments deployed outside for extended periods... The UHCC provides an ideal location for field courses with an outdoor component. These have included students taking UH courses in Architecture, Biology and Biochemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, English, and Science Education, and from other institutions in the Houston metropolitan area. Opportunities exist for new courses in other topics. Shasta's Prairie, a small pocket prairie on the UH campus, provides an introduction to coastal prairie plant species for classes that cannot visit the UHCC itself.
