2.1 CAMPUS CONTEXT<br />

CAMPUS LOCATIONS<br />

Main Campus<br />

The <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> main campus is located<br />

approximately ten miles south of downtown <strong>Dallas</strong>,<br />

near the city's limits, in a primarily residential area.<br />

It is immediately north of the new <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> blue<br />

line DART station. The presence of DART signals<br />

that new investment is starting to occur in what has<br />

been historically an underserved area of the city.<br />

The campus is situated along the Runyon Creek<br />

corridor, which is part of a network of open space<br />

and trail corridors that includes Five Mile Creek<br />

and the Trinity Forest. It is unique within the <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

region, and serves as a significant environmental<br />

and recreational asset.<br />

The university also sits within the Grow South!<br />

Education Corridor, a group of local institutions<br />

including Paul Quinn College and Cedar Valley<br />

College, that are part of a City of <strong>Dallas</strong> cooperative<br />

strategy to promote sustainable growth,<br />

infrastructure, and capital improvements in the<br />

southern part of <strong>Dallas</strong> County.<br />

<strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> Law Center<br />

The <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> College of Law is located in the<br />

historic City of <strong>Dallas</strong> Municipal Building—across the<br />

street from Main Street Garden Park in downtown<br />

<strong>Dallas</strong>. The college's moot court and library occupy<br />

the Lee F. Jackson Building a half block away. With<br />

its convenient downtown location, the <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

Law Center has a close relationship to the <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

community, and offers legal resources, educational<br />

access, and a diverse array of internship opportunities<br />

to a broad constituency. <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> anticipates<br />

offering new graduate and professional continuing<br />

education programs in downtown <strong>Dallas</strong> over time,<br />

positioning the university for an even greater impact<br />

in the city.<br />
