Place-based Strategies for Urban Districts

By focusing on the unique traits of a given district, our plans work at the intersection of physical opportunity and end-user benefit to generate strategies rooted in place. We strive for solutions that are implementable to ensure ultimate client and community success.

UNT Dallas is a Minority Serving institution with a narrow yet deep focus – 78% of students live within southern Dallas County. The master plan calibrates the growth of the campus to the needs of the university’s diverse students and responds to the poor health outcomes that characterize southern Dallas relative to the region.
