The Law School Building on the St. James Campus of the University of Sydney was as a monumental exposed concrete building with a façade divided into small sections by concrete brise soleils and cross beams.

Demolished. The Law School Building at the St. James Campus was used by the university until its law faculty relocated to the Camperdown Campus in 2009. The move was prompted by the need for more modern facilities and a desire to integrate the law school closer to the university's main campus. The brutalist building was sold at the beginning of 2015 for an estimated 45 million dollars to the fund giants Galileo Group and ISPT, who later built a high-rise building with luxury apartments on the site.
This building was included in the red list, published in our exhibition catalog SOS Brutalism: A Global Survey (September 2017). After a status review on November 26, 2024, it was reclassified in the online database from red (endangered) to black (demolished).
