• The Campus Master Plan could accommodate an increase of fifty percent (50%) growth in facilities on the Denton campus. Expansion of campus facilities will be required because of:

• The current "under built" conditions
• The proposed thirty percent (30%) population growth in the Metroplex in the next twenty years, much of which is within twenty miles of UNT
• Increase in new disciplines and demands of the knowledge age that are specifically unforseen at this time

• Maintaining a "walkable campus" by keeping most academic facilities within the 10 to 15-minute walk from the academic center.

• Continue to provide the amenities for the traditional university student, while responding to the need for a comprehensive "metropolitan university" to serve the North Texas Region. These include, but are not limited to:

• Special on-campus study and meeting areas for commuter students
• Student life activities which serve traditional, nontraditional, and metropolitan students
• User-friendly parking systems for day, night, and weekend
• Strong presence of on-campus and near campus housing for traditional younger students, married or adult single students
• A responsive balance of "distance learning", off-campus learning centers, and other "connectivity" options to increase convenience for students to include reduction of travel time
• Work with regional and local transportation agencies to improve vehicular and public travel options from the urban centers to UNT / Denton
• Specialized student services that enable multi generational and diverse populations to attend UNT
• Classes and student services provided for full time and part time students

• Promote collaboration and enrichment in the total learning process by integrating undergraduate learning, graduate learning, research, and faculty offices integrated with the academic classrooms and other academic facilities. This will be a major strength and competitive advantage for UNT.

• Identify land acquisition priorities and public / private redevelopment opportunities in the areas adjoining the campus.

• The campus must be user-friendly, accessible, safe and environmentally sensitive. This includes:

• Comfortable pedestrian and landscape systems serving the perimeter
• Reliable and efficient bus system for the more remote parking areas
• Convenient parking systems located on the adjacent perimeter of the academic core
• Restricted traffic movement within the academic core

• Provide increased opportunity for special conferences and other community outreach for the greater North Texas Area

• Provide for high quality image, landscape, and visual unity for the entire campus through:

• Attractive and functional campus gateways
• Defined campus edges
• Continuity of quality pedestrian and landscape systems, which include walkways, bikeways, bike racks, landscape furniture, lighting, formal and informal open spaces
• Strategic green spaces for esthetic and functional purposes
• Architectural guidelines related to scale, materials, color, and certain design objectives for campus buildings
