Farmer Education Building

Education

This three story ASU building was designed by Valley legend Ed Varney and Associates in 1962 and features patterned precast concrete grilles to protect windows from the sun. Massive covered walkways of concrete connect the building with others in the complex nearby. Despite its stoic and uninterrupted exterior, the interior courtyard is a lively tropical space that lifts the eyes skyward with the patterns and textures of freefloating stairways.
