UT Dallas Campus

The University of Texas at Dallas has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades, marked not just by achievements in academics and research, but by expanded levels of care for the UT Dallas community through quality infrastructure, housing, landscaping, and a variety of services.

University Parkway and Entrance

The beautification of the UT Dallas campus was made possible through the generous donation of the late Margaret McDermott, wife of UTD founder Eugene McDermott. The project, designed by Peter Walker Partners and completed in the Fall of 2009, added more than 6,000 native trees and shrubs to campus. Each tree used for campus enhancement was hand-picked, inspected, and placed in a specific location by the landscape architect.

Student Services Building Addition (SSA)

In Fall 2017, this 74,343-square-foot addition to the Student Services Building was completed to further expand essential resources and services to students. Key features in this building include a 500-seat auditorium, food and retail locations, and a gaming wall. In addition to providing event, meeting, office, and study space, the many resources offered such as Comet Card office, Military and Veteran Center, and Student Affairs prove to be convenient for students across the campus.

Hike and Bike Trail

A scenic 3.4-mile hike-and-bike trail winds around and through campus. Starting at Waterview Parkway and Franklyn Jenifer Drive, then extending north to Synergy Park Boulevard, the trail turns toward the east to connect with more paths on Floyd Road.
