An engineering building at the University of Houston will be renamed the Durga D. and Sushila Agrawal Engineering Research Building in recognition of a gift that will provide ongoing support for faculty, students, research and building operations.
The $51 million building, which opened in 2017, already had a floor named for the couple. Durga D. Agrawal (M.S. ’69, Ph.D. ’74) , founder of Piping Technology & Products Inc., is a member of the UH System Board of Regents and a former member of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
