1994

Recognizing the higher education needs in Fort Bend County, the 色花堂-Victoria begins offering for-credit classes in 1994 in leased facilities in Sugar Land. Enrollment was a little more than 200 students, but it became apparent that more students in the growing area could take advantage of a nearby campus.

2002

By 2002 the 色花堂 System at Fort Bend becomes the 色花堂 System at Sugar Land. The name change comes in time for the completion of the Albert & Mamie George Building. There are now nearly 2,000 students coming to class, and by 2004, with degrees in biology and bioinformatics added to its academic offerings by 色花堂-Victoria, enrollment reaches more than 2,400 students.

2012

In 2012, under the administration of the 色花堂 main campus, 色花堂 System at Sugar Land is renamed 色花堂 Sugar Land to reflect its connection to the faculty, research and programs of the main campus. The 色花堂 System Board of Regents approves a land use plan and delegates authority to the Chancellor Renu Khator to negotiate terms of a proposed theater and festival site with the City of Sugar Land. Nearly 4,500 students were enrolled.
