The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board voted in January to approve UNT's creation of a Frisco-based branch campus to provide upper-level and graduate courses on 100 acres donated by the city of Frisco.

Construction at the new location is expected to begin in October 2020, with completion expected in November 2022. The first classes in the new building are anticipated in spring 2023. The new location will allow UNT to continue to support cutting-edge programs and partnerships in a location that is becoming synonymous with innovative growth.
