CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION<br />

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN<br />

The <strong>2020</strong> campus plan is the first major update<br />

to the original campus plan for the <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

campus in over fifteen years. The plan lays out a<br />

strategy for the university's continued growth for<br />

the next ten-to-twenty years, providing updated<br />

recommendations for academic, administrative,<br />

campus life, and athletics and recreation space, as<br />

well as open space, wayfinding, and mobility systems.<br />

The plan is intended to be bold and strategic,<br />

outlining an exciting and aspirational vision for<br />

the campus that will help the university realize its<br />

strategic goals. The campus plan vision:<br />

• Creates a strong sense of place that offers an<br />

inspiring collegiate experience<br />

• Reinforces the strong university-community<br />

connections<br />

• Improves efficiencies and ensures that proper<br />

infrastructure is in place<br />

• Addresses emerging needs with cost-effective<br />

solutions and prioritized investments<br />

• Leverages the location of the campus next to<br />

the new <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> DART station<br />
