Our Future

The New Home for the School of Law and Social Justice In January 2020, the new School of Law and Social Justice Building opened to staff and students. For the first time in the School’s history, all staff and students from across the School will be together in one building, unifying the School and nurturing collaborative working and learning.

The new Building forms part of the University’s investment into the South Campus. The former Cypress Building has undergone major renovation that includes the construction of a new wing and a large central atrium, along with new social and breakout spaces and a multi-purpose event space and a coffee shop.

With a range of innovative and adaptable environments, the building will house the majority of the Law School’s research and collaboration events. The new 100-seater events space paired with the multi-purpose atrium, provides the perfect place for workshops, symposiums, meetings, book launches and public lectures.

The new School of Law and Social Justice Building opens up a new chapter for the Liverpool Law School and we look forward to the exciting opportunities that it offers.
