One-stop resource and resilience hub

The Tempe EnVision Center at 1310 E. Apache Blvd. is the city's unique resource and resilience hub that aims to provide a one-stop shop for:

• Employment
• Education
• Technology access and support
• Local food programs
• Emergency preparedness
• Health and wellness
• And more!

The EnVision Center serves as a community hub offering programs, services and resources that boost community resilience, wellbeing and self-reliance. The center is designed with our community to enhance residents' quality of life. 

The center is designed to encourage connection and collaboration in an open, modern space. The center features:

• Several meeting spaces for community members, neighborhood groups and local organizations
• Booths for one-on-one sessions and collaboration
• Colorful, comfortable seating throughout
• A café space for snacks

The center is a partnership among Tempe's Community Health and Human Services Department, Sustainability and Resilience Divison and Emergency Management. 

The EnVision Center is open Monday-Friday, from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. The Hive is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from noon – 6 p.m. and Tuesday and Friday, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Resource center

Through Community Health and Human Services, the EnVision Center offers year-round programs and services, workshops and more.  By partnering with local nonprofit organizations, the center is able to expand its programming and bring even more resources under one roof. Resources are available to the entire Tempe community. 

Resilience Hub 

Through the Sustainability and Resilience Division, the EnVision Center is the  city's first resilience hub, community facilities designed to assist residents in their daily lives, respond effectively during emergencies, and aid in recovery. Through the center, staff will be offering emergency preparedness workshops that can provide residents with the education and resources to better respond to big and small disruptions.  It will eventually be equipped with solar power and battery storage, making it a Resilient Energy Hub.

The Hive 

The city has partnered with IDIA (The Institute for Digital Inclusion Acceleration), to bring The Hive to Tempe. This location is the largest in IDIA’s Hive network and is the first location to include a stand-alone telehealth room. 

In addition to accessing the internet and receiving one-on-one tech support, visitors to The Hive can use on-site resources for:

• Telehealth appointments
• Creating podcasts 
• Stop-motion film making 
• VR (Virtual Reality) 
• 3D printing  
• Photography  
• Coding 
• Robotics 
• And much more 

Coming soon: signature artwork

The City of Tempe has commissioned local artist Paige Reesor to create a signature artwork for the center. Reesor’s design integrates the theme “Boundless Opportunity” into a mural that transforms Tempe’s Mill Avenue Bridge and pathways into a metaphor for personal growth and exploration. The mural conveys that diverse paths to success are enriched by communal connections. The painting is expected to be complete by the end of 2024.
