The Ambassador Barbara Barrett & Justice Sandra Day O’Connor Washington Center, a 32,000-square-foot, eight-story structure, is located in a historic building just two blocks from the White House. ASU President Michael Crow told the state press in earlier in march that they took a 100-year-old building and gutted it down to the outside brick walls and completely redid the inside. The new center will be home to various ASU programs such as the Cronkite News Washington Bureau, the McCain Institute for International Leadership, as well as other think tanks and research facilities.
ASU professor and prominent scientist, Lawrence Krauss, tweeted out a response to sexual misconduct allegations Wednesday. In a nine-page statement, Krauss gave his version of events and responded to a BuzzFeed article that described a pattern of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.

Krauss acknowledged his sensitivity to other people's feelings could be improved and apologized for "language or demeanor" that made others uncomfortable. The physicist is on paid administrative leave from ASU while the school reviews the allegations.
