Facilities
The college's Law Building reopened in March 2008 following renovations and expansions. The new building is 3,300 m2; and took just over two years and $16.5 million to complete. The Law Foundation of Saskatchewan contributed $1 million to the project.
The new building has additional classrooms with multimedia capability, additional administrative offices, a new student lounge, student organization offices, and space for the college's Native Law Centre. The new building has a "living roof" which is the largest of its kind in Saskatchewan, and the building is LEED Gold-certified.
The law building is connected to the Edwards School of Business and, indirectly, the Arts Building. The law building is located opposite Campus Drive from the Saskatoon Cancer Centre and Royal University Hospital.
The law library contains numerous artifacts, including one of the most unusual holographic wills ever written – the tractor fender of Cecil George Harris, who was trapped when his tractor overturned. On the fender he wrote, "In case I die in this mess I leave all to the wife. Cecil Geo. Harris." The fender was probated and accepted as a valid last will.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
