Facilities
The West campus is the smallest of ASU's campuses in terms of facility space (square footage of buildings). The campus primarily consists of five cloistered academic buildings arranged around a quad, with several smaller satellite buildings housing auxiliary and administrative offices.
In 2011, the Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy, a school for gifted children, opened on the east side of the campus. The school will eventually house students from 7th-12th grade, and will share west campus common areas. In addition, construction began on three new facilities: a student housing complex, Casa De Oro, and a campus dining commons, Verde Dining, which were completed for the fall 2012 semester, and a student recreational facility, Sun Devil Fitness Complex, to be completed by January 2013.
