ASU California Center Grand

ASU California Center Grand is a building designed to inspire creativity. Part of Arizona State University’s location in Los Angeles, the building is home to ASU FIDM, ASU’s fashion program. Students in the program learn in state-of-the-industry classrooms on professional equipment and have coursework embedded with industry partners across LA that allow them to work alongside experts while earning their degrees.

The nearly 200,000-square-foot building includes the largest fashion library on the West Coast and the world-class ASU FIDM Museum. The ASU California Center Grand is part of the final space in a grand boulevard through downtown LA called the Los Angeles Open Space Network. It was designed by Jerde Partnership and developed by the Ratkovitch Co. Completed in 1990, the building contains five floors at ground level and above, and three floors of underground parking.

The ASU California Center Grand includes Grand Hope Park, a 2.5-acre greenspace designed as a collection of “outdoor rooms” by landscape architect Lawrence Halprin. It features several art pieces from California artists, a water feature and a clock tower.

ASU has two state-of-the-art facilities in downtown LA, blocks apart on Broadway and on Grand, making up the ASU California Center where the university offers top-ranked undergraduate and graduate degree programs in film, fashion, emerging media, business and more.
