Downtown Dorms

摘要

When Arizona State University welcomes students for the fall semester this year, far more of them will be living in downtown Phoenix with the opening of new student housing in Taylor Place. The university's profile downtown has changed dramatically since ASU opened its downtown Phoenix campus in the fall of 2006. University College, the College of Public Programs and the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation were the trailblazing colleges that moved from Tempe to the new downtown Phoenix campus. Construction cranes soon were soaring over the campus on a pair of sites west of the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation at Taylor and Third streets. The first crane showed up in late 2006 at the site of the new Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication building between Central Avenue and First Street. A few months later, Austin Commercial began construction of Taylor Place, two 14-story towers for student housing adjacent to the Cronkite building.
