Tempe is an urban community of over 150,000 residents located in the center of the Phoenix metropolitan region. It is bordered by Phoenix on the west, Scottsdale on the north, Mesa on the east, and Chandler on the south. Arizona State University (ASU), with its main campus in Tempe, is the fourth-largest public university in the nation. ASU continues to play an important role in contributing to Tempe's considerable educational and cultural resources. Downtown Tempe along Mill Avenue has become an area entertainment center boasting live music, restaurants, boutiques, cafes, theater and film. The annual spring and fall Festival of the Arts draws tens of thousands to Downtown Tempe, the largest such event in the Southwest. ASU's Gammage Auditorium, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, seats 3,000 and hosts world-class productions.
