Subcontracts Qwest – Managed Services – $3.4 Million 2 RFP No. 020901 Networking Services Vendor 3. Parameters 3.1. ASU – The New American University Arizona State University (ASU/the University) is one of the premier metropolitan public research universities in the nation. ASU is research-driven but focused on learning. Teaching is carried out in a context that encourages the creation of new knowledge. ASU maintains a tradition of academic excellence in core disciplines and has become an important global center for innovative interdisciplinary teaching and research. ASU is one university in many places. In addition to the historic Tempe campus, a college town in the midst of a dynamic metropolitan region, the university comprises three newer campuses: ASU at the West campus in northwest Phoenix adjacent to Glendale; ASU at the Polytechnic campus in east Mesa; and the Downtown Phoenix campus in the city’s urban core. The University envisions the downtown Phoenix campus to serve 10,000 to 15,000 students with an active 24/7 environment that includes academics, housing, retail, and cultural programs and entertainment. The University seeks to provide the best possible education to the broadest possible spectrum of society, embracing the educational needs of the entire population. By the year 2020, ASU is projected to enroll 90,000 students. The University champions diversity and is international in scope, welcoming students from all 50 states as well as nations across the globe. The University is an active partner with the private sector in initiatives to enhance the social well-being, economic competitiveness, cultural depth, and quality of life of metropolitan Phoenix and the state. The University seeks to advance social and economic development in Arizona. As it evolves, ASU will serve as the prototype for the New American University, redefining the existing conception of research universities. ASU is building a comprehensive metropolitan research university that is an unparalleled combination of academic excellence and commitment to our social, economic, cultural, and environmental setting. The New American University is an institution that measures its academic quality by the education its graduates have received rather than by the academic credentials of its incoming freshman class; one whose researchers, while pursuing their scholarly interests, also consider the public good; one whose students, faculty, and staff transcend the concept of community service to accept responsibility for the economic, social, cultural, and environmental vitality of the communities they serve. 3.1.1. The Tempe Campus ASU’s Tempe campus is located near the heart of metropolitan Phoenix in the city of Tempe (population 159,615). Nearby are the municipalities that make up the fast- growing Valley of the Sun: Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, Scottsdale, and other communities. The Tempe campus comprises more than 700 acres and offers outstanding physical facilities to support the university’s educational programs. 3 RFP No. 020901 Networking Services Vendor 3.1.2. The Polytechnic Campus At ASU’s Polytechnic campus, students gain knowledge through action. Academic programs prepare students to move directly into careers and become leaders in their professional, public and personal lives. More than 6,000 students are enrolled in high- demand professional and technical undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The 600-acre campus, located in southeast Mesa, provides a small residential college environment with access to all the resources of the University’s four campuses. 3.1.3. The Downtown Campus ASU at the Downtown Phoenix campus is the newest element in a decades-long urban renaissance that adheres to the tradition that built a great American city. As rich as Downtown Phoenix is with opportunities for culture, growth and excitement, the new ASU campus adds its own blend of learning, research and student life to this mixture - elements that help create a 24-hour vibrancy within the city's urban core. Now in its initial year of operation, the Downtown Campus boasts

ASU continues to make meaningful progress in its evolution as a model for 21st century higher education, dedicated to access, excellence and impact.

The multi-tiered structure will replace existing surface parking that will be displaced by planned new development on this site. This project is intended to provide students, faculty and staff with a high-quality facility that will enable their success and support the key elements of ASU’S Strategic Enterprise Framework, including: - Achieving a 57 percent increase in degree production - Establishing national standing in academic quality and the impact of colleges and schools in every field - Enhancing local impact and social embeddedness - Expanding research performance to $815 million in annual research expenditures by 2025 Details regarding this proposed project can be found in the Three-Year Capital Improvement Plan and the FY 2018 Project Description tab.
