MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR<br />
The University of North Texas System is the only<br />
university system based exclusively in the <strong>Dallas</strong>-Fort<br />
Worth (DFW) region, and includes the University of<br />
North Texas, University of North Texas Health Science<br />
Center and University of North Texas at <strong>Dallas</strong>. As DFW’s<br />
regional leader in higher education, we are setting a<br />
new standard for North Texas and beyond – creating<br />
opportunities and meeting economic needs through<br />
forward-thinking education.<br />
As one of the fastest-growing universities in Texas, <strong>UNT</strong><br />
<strong>Dallas</strong> remains focused on providing access to higher<br />
education for students who might not have had the<br />
opportunity in the past. Selflessly focused on the state’s<br />
60x30 goals, <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> is a Hispanic Serving/Minority<br />
Serving institution that provides an affordable pathway<br />
to a college degree and socioeconomic mobility. With<br />
its main campus located in Southern <strong>Dallas</strong> and <strong>UNT</strong><br />
<strong>Dallas</strong> College of Law in the heart of downtown, the<br />
<strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> campuses not only impact educational<br />
attainment in urban <strong>Dallas</strong>, but also economic growth<br />
and redevelopment.<br />
LESA B. ROE<br />

Chancellor<br />
<strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> is uniquely designed to foster its surrounding<br />
community and strive toward equity in education.<br />
To support its mission, vision, values and planned<br />
strategic growth, this <strong>2020</strong> Campus <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
aligns the continued growth of the <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> student<br />
population to its physical campus. Identifying near-term<br />
transformations, along with long-term capacities, the<br />
campus plan carefully and strategically lays out<br />
the future development of DFW's emerging<br />
urban university.<br />
With this <strong>2020</strong> Campus <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> has<br />
a clear and strategic road map to help ensure that its<br />
future physical growth supports the vision of university<br />
leadership, as well as the needs of urban <strong>Dallas</strong>, the DFW<br />
region and all of Texas.<br />
