Emergencies

Call 911 in case of an emergency.

Security

During the Final Review sessions, our buildings will be fully accessible. If, for some reason you are unable to enter one of our buildings, please contact our Front Office in Design North room 162.

During the Community Celebration, access will be more limited due to our buildings automatically locking at 6 p.m. MST for security. The main entrance doors will be held open to allow those in attendance to enter both buildings. We encourage those who have ASU IDs to carry their IDs with them in case they need access to a certain building or studio room. 

Safety tips

Students and guests are empowered to take an active role in their own safety and security. The Dean of Students has compiled personal safety suggestions to help you remain protected.

Students

Please contact your instructor for any questions that you may have about the plans for your studios.

Please have your ASU ID on hand in case you need access to your studios or buildings after hours.

Faculty

If assistance is needed please contact either our Front of House Office Assistant and Receptionist Norma Cisneros or your program head. 

Guests

Please contact our Jr Experience Design and Events Coordinator, Julia Henzler, with questions about this event.
