About the Campus

Get to know the Chandler campus

Intel established a presence in Arizona in 1979 and began operations in Chandler the following year. Today, with 10,000 employees across two Arizona campuses, Intel develops and manufactures microprocessors that power data centers and hundreds of millions of smart and connected devices worldwide.

Intel, the Intel Foundation, and Intel employees are committed to the community, with millions in grants, donations, and in-kind gifts to local Arizona schools, universities, and non-profits each year. In addition, each year our employees generously donate their time, with more than 6,000 individuals volunteering approximately 150,000 hours in the community.

Around the Chandler Site

The Chandler campus features solar-panel-covered parking structures, electric vehicle charging stations and low-water-use xeriscaping.

Employees can take advantage of the on-site health clinic, fitness center, sports fields, spa-salon and bank branch.

The Chandler campus buildings house office workers, lab space, a distribution center and research-and-development facilities.

Intel’s Chandler Campus is home to Intel organizations that support a variety of business functions and products, including finance, human resources, supply chain, assembly test, Internet of Things, autonomous vehicle technology, and more.

Onsite operational support systems ensure proper operation of equipment. These systems include ultra-pure water systems, wastewater treatment systems, water recycling systems, and chemical waste handling tanks and systems. Grey water from reverse-osmosis systems is reclaimed again for landscaping irrigation and toilets, increasing total cycles of on-site water reuse.

Intel’s Chandler Campus is home to one of Intel’s Advanced Vehicle Labs, which supports our autonomous vehicle technology development.

Intel Arizona employees volunteer their time at hundreds of local nonprofits and schools. The Intel Foundation matches their time with a monetary grant to qualifying organizations.

Intel has a long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability. Most recently, we funded several community-based projects in partnership with local nonprofits to restore water back to the local watershed – like this one in Tonto National Forest, which supports the Salt River Basin.

CH-1, formerly Fab 6, was Intel’s first wafer fabrication facility in Arizona. Now it’s home to research-and-development for Intel’s processor packaging technology.

The CH-2 building houses office space, labs and an employee café.

In CH-3, employees have access to an on-site, independently operated health clinic, as well as office and lab space.

CH-4 is is home to Chandler Assembly Technology Development. CATD is responsible for developing and transferring cost-effective packaging technologies for Intel’s products.

CH-5 is an office support building that shares its lobby with CH-6.

The shared CH5-6 lobby is home to the Embedded Demo Center, which showcases the variety of applications for Intel technology -- from robots, to in-vehicle infotainment, to interactive digital signage. Ch-6 has its own employee café.

Additional covered parking on the Chandler campus is outfitted with solar panels.

CH-7 offers employees a full-service café, which often welcomes local vendors onsite to share their products and services. The Arizona Distribution Center is located to the west of the structure. Validation labs also make up a portion of CH-7.

CH-8 is the latest addition to the Chandler campus, with construction wrapping up at the end of 2013. The building will house research-and-development for processor packaging technology, and is scheduled to begin operations in the first half of 2014.

CH-11 is located about 1.5 miles west of the main Chandler campus, and is comprised of office space and a café.

Intel Chandler Volunteers

Intel Arizona volunteers earned the company a #1 ranking on the Phoenix Business Journal’s Corporate Volunteer Programs list in 2013, with more than 150,000 hours spent in the community.

Projects range from free SAT tutoring for low-income students, to helping a local fire department develop custom patient care records software.

When employees donate their time to a qualifying organization, the Intel Foundation donates $10 per hour to that school or non-profit. It’s a win-win for employees and the organizations they care about.
