CHAPTER 4 CAMPUS PLAN<br />

VIEW<br />

The Trailblazer Plaza will anchor<br />

the pedestrian promenade in<br />

the southern portion of the<br />

campus and serve as the heart<br />

of a new campus events district.<br />

An events center to the west and athletics hall<br />

and training center to the east will frame the new<br />

plaza. The state-of-the-art events center, home<br />

to the basketball arena and a variety of other<br />

gatherings, will be a hub for students, faculty, staff<br />

and community members. The facility will be a<br />

new destination in <strong>Dallas</strong> with convenient access<br />

from the DART Blue Line.<br />

EVENTS<br />

CENTER<br />

The athletics hall will complement the events<br />

center with sports training facilities, offices, and<br />

locker rooms, and will host pep rallies and other<br />

campus-life activities. Its location on the plaza will<br />

give athletics prominence on the campus.<br />

Pedestrians will pass through this space while<br />

walking to and from the DART station making<br />

the plaza a showcase to the community. Ryan<br />

Tower, visible in the distance, will be an orienting<br />

landmark on the approach to the campus core.<br />
