National Centre for Indigenous Laws - Opening Summer 2025
A new wing to the Fraser building is set to open in summer 2025. Provisionally named the National Centre for Indigenous Laws, the addition will house classrooms and spaces appropriate for teaching and learning Indigenous laws, a dedicated student wellness suite, an elder’s garden, and purpose-built space for our clinical programs and research centres including the Environmental Law Centre, the Indigenous Law Research Unit, the Access to Justice Centre for Excellence, and the Business Law Clinic. Celebrating Coast Salish design, the centre will be a hub for national and international conversations on Indigenous law. Learn more about the full details of the Fraser building expansion project.
