Description:

Building a World of PossibilitiesHere, at American University Washington College of Law, we saw an opportunity to invest in and shape the future of law, just as our founding mothers saw an opportunity to create a law school that welcomed women into the legal profession 120 years ago. Our new 8 acre Tenley Campus allows us to expand on our core values of equality, diversity, global vision and engagement, intellectual rigor, experiential learning, and a student-centered approach.Conveniently located on Metro s Red Line, with state-of-the-art technology, environmental sustainability, indoor and outdoor spaces for quiet study and reflection, as well as community building and collaboration, we ve built a campus that will enable us to teach, inspire, and have an impact on the world for decades to come. #BuildWhatMattersWarren Building and Pence Law Library This newly constructed building serves as the research and technology center of the law school. Its anchors include the Pence Law Library, which occupies 2 floors and includes an Alumni Center providing our alumni with research and business resources when they visit.
