Taylor Place is Arizona State University's premier residential community located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, just steps away from classrooms, the light rail, bus station and all the City of Phoenix has to offer. Rooms are double-occupancy and suite-style with private bathrooms. Amenities include 24-hour security, full-service cafeteria, study and TV lounges, laundry facilities that text students when finished, a fitness room, wireless Internet and cable.

The residence hall is two 13-story towers and epitomizes sustainable, technologically advanced urban student housing to students in the College of Health Solutions, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, the School of Letters and Sciences, the College of Nursing and Health Innovation, College of Integrative Sciences and Arts and the College of Public Service and Community Solutions. It includes a residential community-within-a-community for students of Barrett, the Honors College downtown.

ASU Residential Colleges place students next door to classmates from the same college, so creative connections can happen anywhere.  Students will find a supportive environment for their academic and social success through residential programming, intentional experiences and opportunities and targeted support.  These living and learning communities provide a close-knit culture designed to help students succeed at ASU.  An advisory committee that includes University, City of Phoenix and community stakeholders works with Capstone On-Site Management (COCM) to develop the annual operating and capital budgets for the project.  The project was completed on-time and on budget and Phase I was completed in 2008.
