ASU University Design Institute

The University Design Institute (UDI) was established by Arizona State University in 2019 with a vision to catalyze universities as engines of social transformation and economic impact. We recognize that traditional models are inadequate in the face of rapid and unprecedented social, technological, and economic changes. Successful 21st-century higher education needs bold, new designs; leapfrogging ideas; systemic approaches; and a relentless focus on innovation.
