The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden’s exquisite landscape and facilities offer educational and cultural programs for all age groups, significantly contributing to the Dallas community. The evolution of the Arboretum, from private estate to a leading cultural institution, is the result of the work of remarkable individuals with the courage and vision to plan for generations beyond their lifetime. Phase one of their expansion, the new, eight-acre Children’s Adventure Garden extends the Arboretum’s northern end, animating a previously undeveloped and steeply sloped portion of the site. The Children’s Garden offers drop-off and pick-up for hundreds of visiting primary school students and families, secure ticketing, an orientation amphitheater, and 17 integrated learning galleries along meandering accessible pathways for visitors to engage at their own pace.

The second building at the University of North Texas Dallas was designed to be both flexible and functional to meet current needs for students, faculty and staff, while allowing the campus to expand its curriculum and services. The completion of this building was vital in allowing the institution to expand into a full four year academic program and to become a standalone campus within the UNT system. Designed and constructed in only 18 months, Overland worked closely with the UNT System to stay within the aggressive schedule and come in under budget. The project establishes a hierarchy of public space and sets the tone for the campus as it expands through the development of the main plaza, courtyards, and pedestrian sidewalks. The building’s program spaces are organized around public and circulation spaces.
