UNT Dallas 2020 Master Plan

CAMPUS CREEK
The campus creek district, at the heart of campus, is
a center of campus life, with the learning
commons and upper division and graduate
apartments lining the creek corridor. Buildings are
oriented to the creek, with plazas, courtyards, and
gardens visible from the meandering pedestrian
paths. Modest pedestrian bridges connect the north
and south areas of campus, providing access to the
rustic wooded landscape. The pathways change
in character from formal to informal, as part of a
broader strategy to reduce landscape maintenance.
Housing in this area consists of 1,005 beds in
apartment units, and will accommodate a diverse
student population, including students with families
and children.
A small recreation area and residential parking lot
is located south of the housing. Proximity to the
athletics district will attract the broader campus
community to this neighborhood.
The creek area functions as a health-promoting and
ecologically beneficial wooded open space, and also
serves stormwater detention purposes. The Runyon
Creek Trail passes through this district, and connects
the campus to the regional trail network, providing
a much-needed recreational amenity for students,
faculty, staff, and campus neighbors.
