As you make plans to visit the Tempe campus, please note that work has started on a refreshed Mill Avenue streetscape that focuses on improving accessibility and sustainability. As construction continues, parts of Mill Avenue and University Drive will be closed, some areas will experience power outages, some sidewalks and ramps will be closed, and pavement reconstruction will be underway.

ASU's Polytechnic campus construction

ASU’s Polytechnic campus is undergoing a major construction boom, with the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 12 (ISTB12) scheduled for completion in November 2025. The facility will serve as a new gateway to the Innovation Research District. Visitors should be aware that construction will be visible when visiting the campus. However, this activity does not impact driving routes or parking availability. All visitors should park in Lot 6.
