To say that we are excited about the impending move of our offices to the campus of Southwestern College in Northeast Phoenix would be an understatement.
The College has sponsored our Essay and Art contests, and this past year the top winners in these competitions were awarded scholarships to the College. Now the SWC name will be associated with every Grand Canyon State Games event as our Title Sponsor. GCSG participants will be increasingly drawn to the College’s 35-acre campus at 2625 East Cactus Road, just west of Piestewa Freeway (State Route 51).
Southwestern College was officially founded in 1960, although its beginnings go back to 1917 as a Christian conference center. It moved to its present campus in 1954 where today it remains a growing, regionally-accredited institution offering Bachelor degrees in such disciplines as liberal arts, business administration, secondary education, counseling, religion and music.
One thing that has to happen before we make the actual move is to assist our current landlord at the River Drive Commerce Center in finding a tenant to take over our existing lease. The 4,649 square feet of rentable space at 2120 East 6th Street in Tempe located just off of 101 (and a short distance from the ASU campus) has been our home for the past 10 years, and it has served us well. It has a large open space that can be configured to a tenant’s specifications, with extensive phone and electrical wiring already in place, plus two small enclosed conference areas and a kitchen.
