Building new futures with creative technologies
Creating an immersive media hub
The world-class media production site hosts hundreds of students who make films, video games, and other immersive media experiences of all kinds.
This new, 118,000 sq. ft. building houses arts, design and technology programs. ASU at Mesa City Center is one of the first media production facilities of its type that is designed to be fully embedded in the community – a hive of cultural exchange, education and public programming and events.
Changing the future for higher education and downtown Mesa
As we build a world-class immersive media hub, we will embed young artists and designers in the core of the community, helping artists to thrive. Alongside our partners and neighbors, we are cultivating a robust, inclusive community at the forefront of the technology sector that will drive economic revitalization in Mesa. Your support will elevate the creativity of students who will enrich Mesa’s cultural life, deepen students’ experiences of the world and create new possibilities for human expression.
