Because of inadequate, old facilities, former Dean James Smoot positioned the law school for a move from its building on the University's main campus in East Memphis to a former customs house on the [[Mississippi River]] in [[downtown Memphis]]. The new law school campus is more than twice the size of the old campus.<ref>http://www.americaninterfile.com/news2.html (last accessed June 22, 2011)</ref> Until purchased by the law school, a portion of the building had been serving as a [[United States Postal Service|post office]]. Designed by Memphis firm [[Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects]], the new law school is located in the heart of Memphis' downtown. Tennessee's governor, [[Phil Bredesen]], has also lent his support and pledged forty-one million dollars in state funds for the move. Along with the purpose-specific interior redesign, the architect (Bill Nixon) oversaw structural renovations, including a $2 million [[seismic retrofit]]. The move was officially announced on January 12, 2006, and it was anticipated that the downtown facility would be ready for classes January 2010. | Because of inadequate, old facilities, former Dean James Smoot positioned the law school for a move from its building on the University's main campus in East Memphis to a former customs house on the [[Mississippi River]] in [[downtown Memphis]].
