Campus
Originally located in New York's downtown Financial District, Fordham Law is currently located on the West Side of Manhattan, as part of Fordham University's Lincoln Center campus. The main law school building is named for Benjamin A. Javits (LL.B 1918), brother of Jacob K. Javits. In 1984, the Ned Doyle Building was added. Fordham Law also rents space at 33 West 60th Street, across Columbus Avenue from its main building, for some faculty offices, its law clinic, and administrative offices for the Crowley Program, Admissions, and Financial Aid.
As part of the university's Lincoln Center Master Plan, unveiled in 2005, a new law school building will be built. The building will take three years to complete following the groundbreaking on May 2, 2011. It will more than double instructional space at the school and create a more than 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) library. The new law school building is part of the university's Phase 1 redevelopment of its Lincoln Center Campus.
