ASU Expands In Downtown Phoenix With New Law School

Arizona State University officially broke ground this morning on its new downtown law school building, even though construction on the $129 million project on the corner of Taylor and First Streets started over the summer.

The Arizona Center for Law Society is scheduled to open for classes by August 2016 and will add another component to ASU’s downtown footprint.

For more on the relationship between university and city, we turn to Edward Jensen, an urban policy consultant in downtown Phoenix and an ASU graduate. We met at Civic Space Park.
