Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix campus is the university’s fastest growing campus in recent years–leading to rapid change in the city it calls home.
The downtown campus has grown by 490 percent during the eleven years since its opening, according to a Downtown Devil analysis of Arizona Board of Regents data. When the school opened during the 2006-2007 academic year, the downtown campus accounted for five percent of total ASU full-time enrollment. In the current academic year, the campus accounts for about 18 percent.
