Houston Welcome Center garages go through name and access changes, Thursday, May 15, 2025 in Houston, Texas. | Raphael Fernandez/The Cougar

UH recently announced that there will no longer be separate parking areas for students, faculty and staff in the Welcome Center Garages beginning June 9. 

All valid Welcome Center Garage permit holders regardless of their status will have the access to both garages.

The garages will be renamed: the student garage will now be Welcome Center South Garage and the former faculty/staff garage will be the Welcome Center North Garage. 

Reasons for change

These changes were made to expand parking permit availability and shorten the waitlist, while also making parking easier and flexible for everyone, the University said.

UH has successfully implemented similar changes in the East, Elgin, Gateway and Stadium garages as well. 

Information for faculty

Faculty and staff can choose to upgrade to a Welcome Center Garage Premium Permit. This will allow them to park on the first floor of the South Garage via the entrance behind the garage.

This pass will not be available to any students. 

Rules, regulations

The first floor of the North Garage will prohibit overnight parking between the hours of 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Violators are subject to citation and towing on the first offence.

Over the summer the first floor of the South Garage will be restricted to faculty/staff, who upgrade to a Gated Premium parking permit.

However until that happens, faculty and staff are allowed to park in the garage with their current permit, while avoiding parking in the reserved spaces. 

Visitor parking will be relocated to the roof of the North Garage and will operate as pay-by-phone only.

Updates throughout summer

Through the summer the garage will be undergoing construction to add signage, gate equipment and license plate readers. 

Additionally, the first floor of the South Garage will eventually be turned into faculty and staff parking.

This collaboration aims to create sustainable financial opportunities to support athletic venues, college athletic programs and college athletes. 

“It’s delicious, they are nutritious, and most importantly, every time you buy one, it’s helping one of our players,” said coach Sampson on a promotional video. 

These fan-tailored snacks offer the athletics department financial support while simultaneously giving college sports fans a healthy snack, helping keep campus pride alive. 

Through its partnership with TheLinkU, Victory Campus will soon collaborate with other universities such as the University of Alabama, the University of Notre Dame, Florida Atlantic University, the University of Tulsa, California State University, Fresno State, Indiana University at Indianapolis, the University of South Alabama and the University of Oklahoma.

“Victory Campus is more than just a product launch. It is a movement to empower student-athletes, energize fan communities and strengthen the connection between universities and the people who support them,” said Chief Growth Officer of Victory Snacks Grant Cohen. “By delivering premium, American-produced snacks and beverages that carry the pride of each school’s brand, we are creating a new model for how NIL programs can thrive while celebrating what makes college athletics truly special.”

The snack line will include jerky, meat sticks, gummy candies, corn puffs and nuts. HoustonTxSnacks are now available for preorder online and will soon be available in campus stores, stadiums and local stores.
