UNT Campus Master Plan provides beauty, functionality for future of campus
Speaking
in his interim role as the university officer primarily in charge of guiding
the future growth and development of the campus, Richard Rafes says the
recent UNT System Board of Regents approval of the UNT Campus Master Plan
for 2002 is a much-needed step forward for the development of a more beautiful
and functional campus. Rafes, vice chancellor and general counsel and
interim vice chancellor for administration for the UNT System and interim
vice president for administration for UNT, says the plan, originally adopted
by the regents in 1998, is a work in progress that must be updated on
a regular basis.
