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 />
