The Downtown campus Sun Devil Fitness Complex is expected to open on Wednesday to ASU students and downtown Phoenix residents, pending inspections and final assembly.
The Downtown Devil got a first look at the facility Monday evening.
The $25 million project located directly next to the Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA has five floors, complete with a couple dozen pieces of cardio equipment, weights, classrooms, a basketball gym, running track and rooftop pool.
The first four floors of the building will be open to YMCA members from the community, but the pool is reserved for ASU students alone.
Tania Mendes, administrative secretary for the Downtown campus dean of students, said the pool was closed off to the community based on student concerns.
There were meetings throughout the planning phase where Downtown students could get updates on the project and have some input on the amenities.
The project broke ground in August 2012 and the grand opening is scheduled for Oct. 1.
