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 />
