About the Scottsdale Center
The Scottsdale Center, developed as part of the university's Strategic Plan, aims to advance the university's land-grant mission in Maricopa County.
With a focus on community engagement and collaboration, the Center offers modern, conveniently located space for community meetings, workshops and small groups. It is the Maricopa County home for essential university functions, including Admissions, Government and Community Relations and Alumni Relations. It also provides convenient office hoteling space for faculty, staff and alumni who work remotely or in Tucson. The University of Arizona Foundation purchased the building in 2022 to help the university expand its presence in Maricopa County.
