CHAPTER 4 CAMPUS PLAN<br />
DOWNTOWN DALLAS<br />
The university has a strong presence in downtown<br />
<strong>Dallas</strong>, with the <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> Law Center occupying<br />
the historic <strong>Dallas</strong> Municipal Building. This central<br />
location benefits from proximity to a diverse<br />
business community, with startups to Fortune<br />
500 companies in the defense, financial services,<br />
information technology, telecommunications,<br />
and transportation sectors.<br />
area, offering new graduate and professional<br />
continuing education programs. As College of Law<br />
enrollment increases in the future, the university may<br />
expand into the adjacent Municipal Building Annex,<br />
which is currently used for city offices.<br />
See Chapter 3 for Law Center program details.<br />
This area of downtown is poised for growth, with<br />
recent investment to the east in the Deep Ellum<br />
district, and increased development activity<br />
occurring in the surrounding blocks. Over time, the<br />
university is well positioned to expand its profile and<br />
footprint near the Law Center, or another downtown<br />
