The leafy vines of Margaret McDermott Trellis Plaza offer shelter from the sun in the middle of a summer day at UT Dallas.
This plaza was named in honor of one of the University’s champions, who made massive contributions to the multi-year, multi-million-dollar Campus Landscape Enhancement Project that transformed UTD from an expanse of brutalist concrete buildings into a collection of lush outdoor spaces with terraces, fountains and hundreds of trees.
