Arizona State University West Campus: A Visitor Guide

ASU’s West Valley campus is in Glendale, at 4701 W. Thunderbird Road. The campus map shows a mix of academic and public-facing spaces, including the University Center, Fletcher Library, Verde Dining Pavilion, Sun Devil Fitness Complex and Fletcher Lawn.

For a campus visit or event, start by identifying the building you need on the map, then check where visitor parking and the relevant entrance are. Delph Courtyard, an outdoor garden patio in the University Center Building, is open daily around the clock.

The ASU West Campus map helps you match campus destinations with parking, transit stops and walking routes. It labels facilities such as the University Center, Classroom/Lab/Computer Classroom, Sands Classroom and Lecture Hall, Casa de Oro and the Fletcher Library area.

For a scheduled visit, ASU’s visitor map marks a check-in point and walking route from North Zone parking to campus destinations including the University Center Building, Verde Dining Pavilion, La Sala Ballrooms, Kiva and Casa de Oro.

Restrooms are available in all ASU buildings. The map also identifies Valley Metro and intercampus shuttle stops, but check their routes and schedules separately when planning your journey.

For a self-guided visit, the Administration Building is a good starting point and no check-in is required. If you have a scheduled visit, the Future Sun Devil Welcome Center is at University Center Building, Room 170, 13590 North 47th Avenue. Plan to check in at least 15 minutes before your appointment.

Visitor parking is available in designated campus lots, with payment instructions posted at the lots. West Valley Lots 10, 11 and 12 cost $3 per hour, up to $12 per day, and North Zone parking is at 4830 University Way North, Glendale, AZ 85051. The visitor map shows a walking route from that zone toward the check-in point.

ASU directs visitors to use AMP Park for West Valley campus lot payments, except at residence halls; posted signs may also direct visitors to ParkMobile or AMP Park. Accessible spaces are available in every parking lot. Parking depends on availability and can be affected by campus events or construction; overnight parking is not permitted.

If you are attending a scheduled campus visit, ASU recommends North Lots 10, 11 or 12 and asks you to allow at least 15 minutes to park and walk to check-in. For event-day travel around Glendale, getting around Glendale on an event day is also relevant to your plans.

The campus map marks Valley Metro stops and intercampus shuttle stops on or near campus, but it does not provide route numbers or schedules; check current transit details and your driving route before leaving.

For a visit by car, use the campus address to plan your approach, then follow the parking and payment instructions posted at your chosen lot. Parking conditions can change with campus events or construction, so leave time to find a space and walk to your destination.

Choose your destination before arriving: a self-guided walk can start at the Administration Building, while scheduled campus visits check in at the Future Sun Devil Welcome Center in University Center Building, Room 170. For scheduled visits, arrive at least 15 minutes before the appointment and allow at least 15 minutes to park and walk to check-in.

The Fletcher Library is another campus destination, with a collection that has supported the campus curriculum since 1988. Its hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to midnight; Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, noon to 8 p.m. Hours and parking rules can change, so check the official site before you go.

The campus map includes ASU Police at 480-965-3456, the emergency information hotline at 480-727-9911 and ASU Information at 855-278-5080. For time beyond campus, Glendale Historic District: a guide to downtown stops can help you plan time in the area.
