FOREWORD<br />

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 />

University of North Texas System<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 />
