Texas Southern University, in partnership with the City of Houston and the Houston Airport System, officially celebrated the grand opening of Texas Southern University at Houston Spaceport with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, April 25. The new 20,000-square-foot hangar will serve as a satellite campus for the University’s Aviation Program, housing a newly acquired fleet of 12 Cirrus SR20 aircraft purchased in 2025. The facility also includes 4,500 square feet of classroom and office space to support expanded on-site instruction, as well as future coursework tied to Texas Southern’s developing aerospace engineering program.
“This facility represents a transformative step forward for our aviation program,” said Dr. Terence Fontaine, Executive Director of Texas Southern University Aviation. “By providing our students with access to modern aircraft, expanded instructional space, and real-world training environments, we are positioning them to compete and excel in the rapidly evolving aviation and aerospace industries.
