Single, larger campus will have room for more students

Northern Arizona University will soon consolidate its smaller Phoenix locations by moving to a larger campus April 1.

Classes, which will be part of the school’s distance learning program, begin this summer. NAU committed to a 10-year, nearly $570,000 annual lease for a 40,000-square-foot building at 15601 N. 28th Ave., formerly a University of Phoenix campus.

University of Phoenix will move about two miles north and lease space at the Union Hills Office Plaza at Interstate 17 and Union Hills Drive.
