It looks like Campbell Law School has chosen the architects for the renovation project.

Great looking building! And I know that it will look great on inside when they are finished, but I wonder if it will be enough space? Any idea of how much space most law schools are? Need to be?

[dmccall]

It cracks me up that they did this "rendering".

Tenants have been given word to be out by the end of May.

My office is in the building and oddly, Campbell has not contacted us about moving. So far only a commercial real estate agent with the management company has contacted us and then only about "helping" us find new space. I think the sale was final yesterday or today...

I doubt that this idea will transpire but ever since this announcement I'm thought of how wonderful it would be if Campbell built student housing over the parking deck. This would insure that students would stay downtown adding another dynamic to the live/work/play model.

I have a friend who started there last fall and I've met many of his classmates. They ALL want to live downtown and have asked me numerous times for ideas about where to live next summer. It is a little tough to answer that question and I tell them that The Tucker seems to be the best bet for them, else look for the private houses in and around downtown.

What developer is going to step up and provide something for them, because there will be a higher demand for rentals once Campbell law moves in and gets situated.

[urbanesq]

Maybe Campbell will partner with a private developer for some professional student housing?

I'd hope there were enough options to keep at least a portion of the students downtown. Otherwise, they'll have to go into the various other college-oriented rentals around the university. Of which there are plenty, of course...

Somebody had a little extra change lying around...I would have thought that they could have bought a piece of land and built from the ground up cheaper?

[Eastwestrob]

If you consider they purchased a 100k+ sf building and land in downtown for that amount, it's a relative bargain if you consider the cost escalation we've seen on some other new construction downtown.

I'd be happy if they made that whole block their campus. The Locke Foundation isn't above finding cheaper digs

Campbell Law has stopped allowing parking in/on their deck on Hillsborough Street on Sunday mornings. They said they are having classes on Sundays, effective last weekend. Which is odd since there were supposed to be rennovations for a year or so. And I doubt they would move classes in the middle of a semester. And I don't know of any law school that has classes on Sundays, let alone Sunday mornings.

And the Morgan street side/eleveation was empty.

The city deck south of Morgan is still available, though they rarely raise the inbound gate... To the north, Green Square's deck will be open to the public on weekends, but that is a year or so from opening.

Major announcement regarding Campbell today at 11:00am.

Raleigh plans another Campbell Law School announcement

Supposedly a "landmark initiative".

[DanRNC]

^They received a $1 million challenge grant to create a legal clinic at the law school for low-income clients.

The renovation is looking really good. All the lights were on tonight and you could see the creation of some large rooms inside and the exterior awnings on both sides look good too. Maybe students plus some Hue residents will help fill the retail space below Hue...

[ChiefJoJo]

The Law School opened today.
