The ASU Polytechnic Complex consists of three buildings, totaling 240,000 sf and containing three primary schools: the School of Agribusiness, School of Science and Technology, and East College (comprised of the School of Education and Humanities). Building functions include administrative offices, classrooms, wet and dry teaching laboratories, a fine arts complex (black box theater, art gallery and painting and drawing studio), a conference center and a separate HazMat building. The team of RSP Architects as Architect of Record along with Lake|Flato as Design Architect, completed on this fast-track project in June 2008.

The complex’s design takes advantage of the temperate climate by relying on exterior circulation and as a result, integrates the buildings, circulation and landscape. The overall arrangement creates a dense and cohesive pedestrian campus where students will want to stay longer to interact with fellow students and faculty.

The project achieved LEED-NC Gold and was awarded 2008 Best Green Building in the US by ENR Magazine.
