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 />
