As Arizona continues to deal with a historic heat wave, dozens of cooling centers have opened in the Phoenix area for people in need to escape the heat. However, for people who don't have a cool place to sleep at night, there is only one place in Phoenix that is open 24 hours a day.
Currently, the campus serves about 1,200 people a day. And while this particular building is open 24 hours to those who need cool air, there are no beds set up here - just chairs and space.
Those who go through the process of getting their campus ID card, checking in during the day, and getting assigned a bed know they are lucky to have a cool, safe place to sleep.
