Glendale officials said they didn’t know until this morning that Arizona State University is moving its Thunderbird School of Global Management to its downtown Phoenix campus.
“While Glendale has been the proud home of the Thunderbird School for over 70 years, now that ASU has made their decision, our immediate priority is ensuring the careful planning of the redevelopment of the 140-acre site that Thunderbird currently occupies,” according to a statement issued by Glendale Dec. 12. “The city will be working with ASU to provide significant input and guidance so that the master plan for the site provides the maximum benefit to the community by creating complimentary economic development activities, jobs and opportunities.”
