ASU's "dome" tenants set to move; building's fate uncertain

[Source: Walt Lockley] -- The Arizona State University information center, currently housed in the former Valley National Bank Building, 826 E. Apache Blvd. in Tempe, has been asked to be ready to move out by the end of June 2006, but the move itself may not take place until a couple of months afterward. ASU has not made its intentions clear about the building's fate, but demolition is an option.
