Thank you for considering GateWay Community College for your next meeting or event. Our facilities are primarily used for the benefit of our student population and campus community. However, when space is available, we are pleased to support the needs of business, industry, non-profit organizations and the general community.
We have a variety of rental venues ideal for meetings, workshops, retreats, conferences, and/or special events. Our Washington campus is centrally located at 108 N. 40th St. in Phoenix, just north of the Sky Harbor International Airport and between ASU's Tempe and Downtown Phoenix campuses. The Washington Campus is the only community college accessible by five freeways, bus, and the METRO Light Rail. We also have space available for use at our Central City Campus at 1245 E. Buckeye Road in Phoenix. Note that reservations can be made no more than 12-weeks in advance. Allow 72 hours turn-around time.
