New GSU Law School Ready To Break Ground | DailyReportOnline.com

Georgia State University has set a date, Sept. 12, to break ground for its long-anticipated new law school building, said the dean of GSU’s College of Law, Steven Kaminshine.

The state-of-the-art building responds to the rapidly changing field of legal education, Kaminshine said, with a design that promotes collaborative and experiential learning and makes the law school more of a community center.

“It’s an absolute necessity and an unmatched opportunity,” he said. “We are literally out of space to do what we need to do.”

For the first time in the school’s 31-year history it will have a building actually designed for it, with a far more coherent floor plan, in a central downtown location. The new site is at the northern tip of Woodruff Park, across the street from the Candler Building and just south of the Georgia-Pacific Building. The block, at the corner of Park Place and John Wesley Dobbs Avenue, is currently a parking lot.
