The Fort Bend County Library, established in 1947, opened its first building in Richmond in 1949. By 2004, the library had grown to a system of eight libraries, and it provided administration of the County Law Library. As rapid growth of the county continued, the First Colony Branch Library in Sugar Land (built in 1993) had become severely overcrowded and was finding it difficult to meet demand. Moreover, development of more planned communities in the area increased the crowding situation at First Colony Branch.
Fort Bend County and library administration were seeking solutions to alleviate the burden on staff, materials, space, and patrons. After considering various options, construction of a new building was still preferred, but land was not readily available.
At the same time, the University of Houston System was in the process of trying to increase the academic level of its Sugar Land campus (UHSSL), for which an onsite library on the grounds would become an enhancement, if not a necessity. County officials approached the university with the idea of building a partnership library: each had what the other needed: UH had land and the county had funds. It was a perfect opportunity to accomplish two goals and to provide significant cost-savings to taxpayers, as well.
In 2004, representatives from all entities met with consultant Bailey Architects of Houston, to discuss a programming plan for the project. Subsequent meetings led to an agreement between Fort Bend County, the University of Houston-Sugar Land, with participation from the University of Houston-Victoria and Wharton County Junior College, and planning began for the construction of a library on the UHSSL campus with funds from the county. Groundbreaking for the project took place on September 2010, and the library opened for business in November 2011.
