CHAPTER 3 SPACE NEEDS PROJECTIONS AND PROGRAM
3.3 SPACE ANALYSIS FINDINGS
MAIN CAMPUS
At the UNT Dallas main campus, the space needs
analysis found there is a deficit of space for current
enrollment, which occurs across virtually all space
categories. (A small surplus in campus life space is
attributable to the combined assembly and meeting
space in the Student Center building, which contains
a large ballroom and several large meeting rooms
that serve multiple functions.) Total non-residential
space needs for current enrollment amounted
to approximately 321,000 ASF, or approximately
144,000 ASF more non-residential space than the
university has today. The university current has 119
beds of student housing.
Growth will generate a need for significantly more
space across all space categories. The introduction
of several intercollegiate athletics sports, and the
provision of additional student housing will further
contribute to the need for future facilities. Total
space needs at the 8,000-student milestone
were projected to be approximately 619,000
ASF of non-residential space, and a total of 1,020
beds of student housing. At the 25,000-student
milestone, an estimated 1.76 million ASF of nonresidential
space would be needed, and a total of
3,100 beds of student housing.
Space needs across each space use category
are illustrated in Figure 3.2 for current and future
enrollments at the main campus. Aggregate ASF
and GSF space needs are illustrated in Figures 3.3
and 3.4.
