Arizona State University is expanding its reach across the Valley with development projects in progress at what seems like every campus.
From ASU Downtown’s new Fusion on First housing to Tempe’s Novus Innovation Corridor to a beefed-up presence headed for Mesa, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., the university seems to be at the peak of its growth.
But one campus where dirt appears to be undisturbed is ASU West, which resides at the edge of Phoenix and boasts a Glendale mailing address. Founded 35 years ago, the West Valley campus has no development projects in the works, an ASU spokesperson confirmed.
According to John P. Creer, ASU’s vice president of real estate, that might not be the case for long.
“ASU is updating its master plan to create an innovation zone to enhance West campus and engage the community,” he said.
