The entire Phoenix headquarters complex of the Arizona Game and Fish Department moved on Saturday, November 10, 2007. Our new location opened on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility just west of Interstate 17 and Carefree Highway.

The new address is:

Arizona Game and Fish Department
5000 W. Carefree Highway
Phoenix, AZ 85086

The main phone number remains 602-942-3000.

All other direct phone numbers and extensions for employees and work units have changed.

The department's new headquarters complex was built on approximately 24 acres at the southwest corner of the Ben Avery Shooting Facility. This project began in 1997 with a comprehensive master plan and was approved by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission in 2004. A public groundbreaking ceremony for the complex took place on Oct. 19, 2006.

The new headquarters totals 117,115 square-feet of new construction including office space, a 205-seat auditorium, conference rooms, a climate-controlled warehouse, laboratories, a development shop and a vehicle maintenance facility.

The entire facility is designed to meet Gold Certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System. This certification addresses sustainability, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. The new headquarters complex is designed to be energy efficient far in excess of minimum requirements.

Development and construction costs for the building totaled $20.5 million and was payed for using Wildlife Conservation Funds (Indian Gaming Revenue). No hunting and fishing license and tags fees paid by sportsmen were used to construct the new building.

The Game and Fish Department has occupied its current facility at the Deer Valley campus on Greenway Road for 30 years.
