Arizona State University at Downtown Phoenix is one of four campuses of Arizona State University. It is commonly referred to as 'ASU Downtown.' The campus, distinguished by its name, is located in the downtown area of Phoenix, Arizona.

The school was built in line with ASU President Michael Crow's "One University, Many Places" initiative, and was built with cooperation from Arizona state and local governments.

Campus

The campus is located in the downtown area of Phoenix, in an area bound by Van Buren Street, Fillmore Street, 1st Avenue, and 7th Street. Classes began there in August, 2006, with students from the College of Public Programs and College of Nursing attending classes there (in renovated existing office buildings adjacent to Arizona Center). In 2008, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication moved to ASU Downtown, with the headquarters and studios of KAET (the PBS member affiliate for the greater Phoenix area, operated by ASU) moving to ASU Downtown in 2009.
