The New Home of Cincinnati Law
On September 12, 2022, an enthusiastic crowd packed a light-filled atrium to listen to speeches from dignitaries and witness a ribbon-cutting before a blast of confetti marked the grand opening of the UC College of Law’s new $45.6 million building. The state-of-the-art facility is located in the center of the Uptown campus and replaces the former building that once housed the Lindner College of Business. Planners reinvented and reconfigured the building producing a 116,735-square-foot structure designed to meet the technological and specialized needs for 412 law students and 78 faculty and staff.
Naming opportunities in the new building are still available and information can be found here: https://law.uc.edu/building/naming-opportunities.html
Empowering Problem-Solvers to Tackle the World's Challenges
For nearly two centuries, the UC College of Law has worked to meet and overcome some of the greatest challenges of our time — and now is no different. Thanks to the generosity of Law alumni and donors like you who are helping bring our mission to life, we are now poised to enact our boldest vision of the future.
Bringing a talented and diverse population to the College of Law is made possible by offering competitive scholarships and financial aid to deserving students. We need your support to ensure we have the resources to provide a highly rigorous academic environment alongside unparalleled real-world experiences.
Cincinnati Law is where passion and social ingenuity lead to personal success and service to others. It is only through the support of our donors that we can amass the capital needed to fully prepare future generations of students to become policy advocates, criminal justice reformers and business regulators.
It is essential that we support our Law students by retaining and encouraging the faculty and staff on whom we rely to shape a comprehensive, socially relevant, premier education worthy of national recognition.
