KEY POINTSComprehensive Development Plan for a New American University
The Comprehensive Development Plan addresses: Creation of a cultural and
educational center for the East Valley; Improved connections with
business and industry; Redevelopment into a unique
and comprehendible campus; Support for a commitment
to integrate practical and theoretical study.
With a curriculum integrating applied
science and technology, the Polytechnic
campus is emerging as one of the
nation’s leading polytechnics, whose
graduates are grounded in experience-
based learning and applications-based
problem solving. The campus, with its
state-of-the-art facilities, is evolving
into the leading educational and
cultural center in the fast-growing East
Valley, promoting collaboration with
business and industry. The campus
offers programs that apply cutting-edge
technology to address professional
and societal needs, preparing the
Polytechnic campus graduates for direct
entry into the workforce.
Established in 1996 on a former U.S.
Air Force base that is slightly smaller
than the Tempe campus, the Polytechnic
campus combines the supportive
environment of a residential college with
the matchless excitement of a research
university. Restrictions associated with
the functions of buildings and grounds
imposed by the federal government at
the time of the transfer of the property,
including their use for academic
purposes only, require that existing
structures be fully occupied prior to the
construction of new buildings.
By removing obsolete facilities and
investing in new ones, the Polytechnic
campus will maximize what is now
dispersed and unstructured space.
Among the plan’s recommendations
is an appeal of certain restrictions
in order to construct non-academic
facilities, including a hotel/conference
center on or near the campus. Another
priority is to integrate the movement
of pedestrians, bicycles, and motor
vehicles, and to offer alternative transit
options. Development of the magnitude
projected will require a stronger utility
infrastructure. Ambitious plans call for
the transformation of the campus into a
model desert arboretum.
