Tours
Tour the shaded walkways of the serene West Valley campus, located in northwest Phoenix, near the border with Glendale. Landmarks include the Albert Paley-designed entry gates, extensive public art and, at the center of campus, Fletcher Lawn. This common area is a contemporary homage to traditional university education, as is the Oxford-inspired architecture on the courtyard-fashioned campus. Lush landscaping, fountains and outdoor spaces make it a popular location for events and celebrations hosted by the university and surrounding communities.
