STUDENTS CURIOUS HOW ASU’S LAW SCHOOL RELOCATION WILL AFFECT DOWNTOWN CAMPUS

News

The relocation of Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, which will bring hordes of law students to the Downtown Phoenix campus, has current downtown students concerned: where will these new students park?

Downtown Phoenix, like most downtown’s in a big city, has limited parking, and ASU student Allison Bailey is concerned that lack of parking might be somewhat of an issue come next fall. And, not to mention, the Starbucks line downtown will surely triple.

“I think it’s great to have all the law school students come down here and expand the downtown campus,” says ASU student Allison Bailey. “But to be honest, I’m just really worried, because I get Starbucks every morning. With more students coming in the lines are going to be extra long.”

The $129 million will be called the Arizona Center for Law and Society.

Construction for ASU’s new law school started in July of 2014 and is set to open in the fall of 2016. Azcentral.com recently created a timelapse of the progress on construction thus far, which can be seen here.

Significant progress has been made. What progress is yet to be seen, and will surely be looked for, is that of what will become of the parking situation. That and, of course, the Starbucks lines.
