In 2002, the campus was moved to its current 250-acre area on University Boulevard at U.S. Highway 59 with the opening of the Albert and Mamie George Building.

On April 23, 2009, a $37 million USD facility was opened on the campus dubbed "Brazos Hall" housing the Sugar Land campus of Wharton County Junior College.
