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.
