ASU celebrated its West campus on Wednesday by kicking off a large-scale project that will add three new academic schools and two new buildings. The event, on Fletcher Lawn, was called “West Valley Forward” and highlighted ASU’s commitment to meeting the educational and economic growth needs of the booming West Valley. “This shared history brings us to a moment where ASU’s commitment to the citizens and communities of the West Valley requires a new level of engagement, resources and vision, and that’s why we’re here today,” ASU Executive Vice President and University Provost Nancy Gonzales said at the event Wednesday, which included a picnic centered on the newest design aspiration, Principled Innovation; speeches; a panel discussion; and a ceremonial groundbreaking for the two new buildings.
