As the University of Houston prepares to celebrate its centennial in 2027, the university campus will be undergoing a renovation and enhancement construction period, including a major renovation of the public areas and roads surrounding the Fine Arts District, of which Blaffer Art Museum is a part. Wilhelmina’s Grove, to the west of the Blaffer, will be under construction from December 9, 2024, until August 15, 2025.  Loop Road, the road directly in front of the Blaffer’s public entrance, will be under construction from December 16, 2024, until December 31, 2025.

Additional information about the construction planning and impact can be found here and here. In the process of this construction, the museum’s loading dock and parking areas will be inaccessible; for phase two of the construction, the museum’s front entrance will be closed. We appreciate your support and patience as we navigate the impact this will have upon our exhibitions and programs in the 2025 calendar year.

To keep our community informed, the McGovern College of the Arts has created the following page to communicate updates on timelines, navigation practices, and other relevant details: Loop Road Parking Update.
