UNT CoLab featured in UNT Today!
LEARNING LAB, BOUTIQUE AND VENUE
The UNT CoLab, formerly UNT on the Square, has moved to the corner of N. Elm and Pecan Streets and will serve as a learning lab... for College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism students. The community-engagement venue will offer programming such as lectures and exhibits, as well as event rental space.
It also includes a retail boutique of UNT- and Denton-inspired items — many that are one-of-a-kind or limited-edition products. Although it is currently closed to the public due to COVID restrictions, you can order by phone and choose contactless curbside pickup or shipping. Take a look at the fall catalog on Instagram and call 940-369-8257 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday to discuss items available and place orders.
