University of North Texas: Library Master Plan

Updating a University Library System

Denton, Texas

At the start of the study, we defined a vision and set a path for the development of the newly expanded Willis Library at UNT’s Denton campus.

We identified collaborative initiatives and opportunities for new learning centers to enrich Willis’ support of the learning environment, engage with the growing student body, and support a vibrant UNT community.

Terraces and roof-top gardens provide outdoor alternatives to the variety of learning spaces within the building.

Working closely with a committee comprised of students and campus faculty and staff, we assisted the University of North Texas (UNT) in developing a master plan for their library system. Changes to the system were necessary due to the rapidly growing student population, new technology since original construction, and changing needs of students and researchers. The university also aspired to gain top tier research institution status as defined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
