The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law has a new home at Arizona State University.

The $129 million state-of-the-art Center for Law and Society opened Monday in downtown Phoenix, and will house the law school and several other organizations. 

ASU says the six-story building will connect students, visitors and the public to the role of justice in society.

In an FAQ on its website, ASU says:

“Students are steps away from the legal, political and economic heart of Arizona in the nation’s sixth-largest city, making it easier for them to network with alumni and other experts, as well as prospective employers. Law school students can more easily connect with ASU students on the downtown campus in complementary programs such as health, communications, and public service. This reinforces ASU’s interdisciplinary approach to education. 

“Faculty are able to use the latest technology and classrooms designed for different modes of learning, pursue interdisciplinary research in dedicated think tank space, more conveniently connect with community partners, and enjoy the beautiful spaces and amenities that the building and downtown Phoenix have to offer.”

Construction started in the summer of 2014, and the 280,000-square-foot building was funded through bonds and gifts from alumni and other supporters in the legal and business communities.

ASU hopes the building will foster collaboration among its occupants, which include the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics, The McCain Institute for International Leadership, the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, Arizona Voice for Crime Victims, Arizona Justice Project and the ASU Alumni Law Group.
