A decade ago, OCU Law welcomed students for the first time to the newly renovated historic downtown building at 8th and Harvey for the spring 2015 semester. The school had been operating on OCU’s main campus on 23rd street since the late 1950s, but the move represented a return to the school’s roots in downtown OKC. The building, designed by noted local architect Solomon Andrew Layton, was originally established to serve as one of Oklahoma’s first high schools. That school educated the city’s future leaders and was the first school in the city to be racially integrated. OCU Law is proud to call this beautiful building home and to carry on its historic legacy of graduating the leaders of tomorrow.
The building at 8th & Harvey has spent:
years as a junior high or high school
years as corporate offices
%
years (and counting) as OCU Law
Since the first classes in 2015, nearly 1,500 students have attended class in this building, OCU Law has hosted leaders in education and public service (even a president!), and the school has welcomed its highest–credentialed classes in more than 30 years. Being located in the heart of a thriving downtown has positioned OCU Law students for success more than ever, and the school’s future is incredibly bright.
