The buildings include student studio spaces, a research lab, design research studios, a rooftop solar and day lighting testing area, photography and video services, and a slide and media library.

⭐ ASU Library

At Arizona State University, we are building a new library for the 21st century – one that is as inspiring as it is welcoming, both an incubator of creativity and a monument to human complexity. As new technologies, disciplines and opportunities for discovery continue to emerge, the learning and research needs of ASU students and faculty demand a library that is both agile and robust, community-centered and service-minded, imaginative and engaged, and equipped to support a growing and dynamic New American University.

The ASU Library is comprised of eight libraries and seven collections across the university's four metro Phoenix campuses.

Design and the Arts Library

The Design and the Arts Library is located on the first floor of the Design North building. This portion of the ASU Library collection focuses strongly on design subjects, including: architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic design, industrial design, and urban planning. The Design and the Arts Library houses approximately 50,000 books, journals, and media items, as well as a special collection of primary source materials and archival drawings.

🖌️ Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts

Built on a dynamic combination of disciplines unlike any other design and arts school in the nation, the ASU Herberger Institute connects, fuses and merges fields. Choose from architecture, art, dance, design, digital culture, film, theatre, music and more, or create your own unique plan of study with our cross-institute degrees, minors and certificates.

The Design School

The Design School houses degree programs in architecture, environmental design, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design and visual communication (graphic) design. We offer an integrated curriculum of professional courses and focus on the design laboratory. The programs seek through scholarship, teaching, research, design and community service to develop the discipline and the knowledge necessary to address the important environmental and design issues faced by society. The synergy created by the comprehensive array of academic programs in the Herberger Institute creates a rich learning experience for our students. View degree programs.
