The law school building is located in the south-west corner of the University of Utah campus, directly north of the Stadium light rail station and Rice–Eccles Stadium,[6] and approximately 2.5 miles from downtown Salt Lake City.
The James E. Faust Law Library (formerly the S.J. Quinney Law Library) is integrated into the law school building. The first floor, parts of the second floor, and the sixth floor of the building are open to the public; materials located on upper floors can be retrieved for public patrons.
Utah Law's $62.5 million[7] building was opened on September 1, 2015.
