Barrett Tempe

Classic honors education: a small community with vast university resources.

Tempe campus and community

The eight-acre Barrett Complex, on the southeast corner of ASU’s Tempe campus, opened in 2009. The complex consists of nine buildings. Eight are residential and the ninth is our own honors student union, Honors Hall. Extensive input from Barrett’s dean, students, faculty and staff went into the design of this community, which features three large courtyards, an outdoor amphitheater, hammock posts and many areas to sit and enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather.

Barrett@Vista, a residential community for students in their sophomore, junior and senior years, is located just south of the Barrett Complex.

Barrett@Vista consists of 10 buildings, nine of which are apartment-style residence halls with a full kitchen and laundry in each unit. The tenth building, the Vista del Sol Community Center, includes various indoor amenities and a resort-style pool.
