Handyman Insurance, Historic Phoenix Federal Building Reborn as College Student Center
Arizona State University students funded a modern makeover for a 1930s post office in downtown Phoenix. ASU was granted usage in most of the U.S. Post Office Building on Central Avenue after ownership was transferred from the federal government to the City of Phoenix, which partners with ASU on all its downtown campus projects. The school’s challenge was to adapt part of the aging interior into a modern facility, dubbed the Student Center @ the Post Office, complete with a high-tech learning center, recreation/social spaces and meeting rooms for dozens of student organizations.
