UVic celebrates opening of new Indigenous law wing

The University of Victoria has officially opened its new Indigenous Law wing .The $38.1M facility was designed by Two Row Architect to reflect Coast Salish teachings with natural materials such as pillars of fir and spruce, gathering spaces with strong acoustics, and light-filled spaces. It will house Indigenous law teaching and learning activities, and will host the Access to Justice Centre for Excellence, the Business Law Clinic, the Environmental Law Centre, and the Indigenous Laws Research Unit. “This new (building) stands not simply as a building, but as a testament to decades of vision, perseverance, and relationship building,” said UVic Associate Dean Indigenous Sarah Morales (Su-taxwiye).
