Texas CanvasConnect at the University of Houston - Downtown

UHD's dynamic campus is located at One Main Street in downtown Houston, easily accessed from all major freeways. Scroll down for directions on how to get to UHD by freeway.

For a closer view of UHD's campus in relationship to the streets of downtown Houston, including parking lots and vehicle entrances, check the interactive map. The Parking Office in room N117 (One Main Building) is responsible for UHD Parking permits and tokens.

METRO operates a light rail line that stops on Main Street in front of UHD's campus. A number of bus routes also serve UHD's campus. METRO Bus Passes and Schedules are available, along with tokens, at the Information Center, located on the third floor of the One Main Building.
