Introduction v
The purpose of this report is to identify which building at the University of North Texas
(UNT) is the most effective. The effectiveness of each building at a university effects how the university is evaluated. The structure and functions in each building can even effect the schools ratings. The University of North Texas was founded in 1890. Since then, it has held classes and educated students in numerous buildings. Some of the oldest buildings at UNT include the General Academic building and the Union. UNT has evolved in the structure and function of its buildings. Some of UNT’s newly built buildings include the Business Leadership Building. This report will compare and contrast the different buildings at UNT.
