UNT Dallas 2020 Master Plan

CAMPUS CORE
The existing Multi-Purpose Building, Founders
Hall, and Student Center form the beginning of
the campus core and will be complemented by
additional buildings that frame the gateway plaza
and line the campus entrance from University Hills
Boulevard. To the north of the plaza, a new dining
hall will offer additional campus life amenities to
students, staff, and faculty. To the south of the plaza
new signature academic buildings—the STEM
and Business Technology Buildings—enhance
the distinctive core setting. Additional academic
buildings will complete the core district with
continued campus growth. The spaces to the east
of the Multi-Purpose Building and Founders Hall, at
the crossroads of the gateway plaza and promenade,
are key opportunity sites. They could be used for
distinctive shade structures or landscape features,
which could activate the district as admissions tour
staging areas, open-air cafés, or visitor or alumni
facilities. Between buildings, courtyards and small
greens will host social and recreation activities.
