New building to support UNT’s growing research enterprise

To support its historic growth as a Carnegie-ranked Tier One public research university, the University of North Texas is constructing a 111,000-square-foot multidisciplinary research and teaching building on its Denton campus. The project is possible thanks to $103.4 million in tuition revenue bonds authorized by the 87th Texas Legislature in 2021.

The forthcoming Science and Technology Building, which will be at the southwest corner of West Mulberry Street and Avenue C, will fulfill a critical need for more modern facilities that support collaborative and interdisciplinary research on campus. The new building will expand research space for areas such as biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, physics, data science, and computer science and engineering while creating experiential learning opportunities for students. The building’s unique multidisciplinary approach also will open possibilities for cross-training and encourage more collaboration across disciplines.
