city of Lafayette as well as the university. During that period the main campus again expanded: to the east (Taft St), west (Rex St), and south (Lewis St) bringing the total amount of acreage for the main campus to an approx. 125 acres. Many new academic buildings were located in this area including Dupre Library, HL Griffin Hall (liberal arts), Billeaud Hall (biology), Madison Hall (engineering), Wharton (nursing), Angelle (music), Fletcher (art/architecture).
In 2012, and as part of the selling of its "Horse Farm" property to the city of Lafayette, the university acquired an additional 20 acres along the Johnston/Lewis St corridor when the Youth Park/Dog Park was added to the main campus. In fall 2018, this area was being developed as housing for upperclassmen, and is called the "Heritage at Cajun Village." With the addition of these 20 acres, the total acreage for the main campus is now at 145 acres.
Law enforcement services on the campus are provided by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Police Department.
