Constructed in 1981, the East Campus has grown rapidly. Sitting on 58 acres near Pantano and Irvington Roads, the campus is surrounded by natural Sonoran vegetation and maintains a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.

Neighboring agencies collaborate on special projects with the campus.  Fred Enke Golf Course, Lincoln Regional Park and the Atturbury Bird and Animal Sanctuary provide many recreational benefits to the students. A strong partnership with Tucson's Clements Recreational Center allows for instructional and fitness opportunities for staff and students alike.
