InnovationSpace
NOVUS 260
The InnovationSpace program provides students with a unique opportunity to complete a real-world project that prepares them for life. Teams of students from all majors spend one to two semesters researching, developing, and refining concepts by using the Integrated Innovation model of learning. This transdisciplinary program, with faculty from a variety of colleges, allows for students to learn new collaborative and creative skills from disciplines including design, business, and engineering.
Students learn how to approach problems that are not structured and do not have one obvious solution. The space in Novus gives students the ability to collaborate and protype their ideas. Projects range from creating a universal design for a hotel room, designing a trauma-informed school for the communities of South Mountain, and exploring the Circular Economy for Small Format Packaging. To explore all projects offered by InnovationSpace and to learn more please visit innovationspace.asu.edu.
MSIVD Studio
NOVUS 240
This multipurpose space is used for students to attend classes, lectures, and other events. Here students can display their work and deliver their own presentations to faculty, mentors, and more.
Prototype Shop/Modeling Shop
CDN 53
Adjacent to Red Square is the Model and Prototype Shop, one of the most popular features of The Design School and an incredible amenity exclusively for Design School students. The shop is designed to accommodate group, studio, and individual projects.
Design Lobby
Hello and thank you for your interest in The Design School at Arizona State University! This tour showcases some of the many amenities and features that all Design School students have access to on the Tempe campus.
Red Square
Basement
On the basement level of Design North is an indoor atrium known as “red square” because of the color of its stained concrete floor! This space is a popular location for exhibitions and reviews throughout the semester, including Super Pins, which feature the work of all first year students; the annual graphic design poster show; and the senior graphic design clock project, where students pick a social cause and build and design a clock that embodies that movement.
Design and Arts Library
CDN 153
The Design and Arts Library is situated right off the entrance in the Design North building. The library is staffed by professional librarians and student workers around the clock to assist visitors in navigating its resources. The Design and Arts Library holds over 50,000 items, including books, periodicals, CD-ROMs, video recordings and microforms related to design, architecture and landscape architecture, interior design, industrial design, and housing and planning. Known as one of the quieter and more secluded libraries on campus, it is a perfect location to escape and work on classwork and other projects.
The Bridge
Joining Design North and Design South is a lecture space we call “The Bridge.” This space is used for classes, formal lectures from visiting designers, events, and especially as a review space for student work. Along the walls, as in Red Square and Tall Hall, there are fabric corkboards where projects are displayed and students “pitch” their designs to firms and other design professionals. Also, the Bridge functions as a much cooler alternative to get between buildings during the hotter months in Arizona!
Lower Division Studios

Gallery of Design
Known as both the Gallery of Design and the Design South Gallery, this formal gallery space is located on the first floor of Design South and acts as a breezeway between the greater ASU campus and the Design School classrooms and studios. Adjacent to the Gallery is the Herberger Institute Office of Student Success and the Biomimicry Center.
The Gallery of Design features exhibitions on architecture, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, and visual communication design. Changing exhibitions showcase top student work for each semester, faculty research and design projects.
Biomimicry Center
CDS 126
The Biomimicry Center on the first floor of Design South offers two graduate-level programs online, as well as an on-campus certificate. One of many innovative ASU centers on campus, the Biomimicry Center is a joint effort between Arizona State University and Biomimicry 3.8 consulting firm. Biomimicry is an emerging discipline that seeks to emulate nature’s strategies and principles to create sustainable solutions to human challenges.
By asking the question: “How would nature do this?”, biomimics around the world are creating products, processes, companies and policies that are well adapted to life on earth over the long haul. Examples include turbine blades designed like whale fins to reduce drag and stronger fiber optics produced like sea sponges. MSD and PhD Office Space
