Western State College of Law at Westcliff University will welcome alumni, students, members of the legal community and the public to the grand opening of its new Tustin campus on Friday, Aug. 28, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, with local city officials invited to attend, and will give guests an opportunity to tour Western State’s new home at 15101 Red Hill Avenue and reconnect with members of the law school community. A reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages will follow.
The grand opening will also offer the first public look at Western State’s new logo, now prominently displayed on the building’s exterior signage. As Orange County’s oldest law school, Western State has spent 60 years preparing students for careers in the legal profession. Its network includes more than 12,000 alumni. The opening of the Tustin campus marks an important step forward for the law school while continuing its long-standing connection to Orange County.
A New Look for Western State
The building’s completed exterior signage introduces Western State’s new logo and updated visual identity and strengthens its presence. It also reinforces the law school’s connection to its parent institution, Westcliff University. Western State continues to build on its history and elevate its profile within Orange County’s legal community.
“The Grand Opening of our Tustin campus brings Western State’s students, alumni and friends together around the next phase of the law school,” said Justice Halim Dhanidina (Ret.), Dean of Western State College of Law. “As a law school with deep roots in Orange County, we are carrying forward the relationships and sense of purpose that have shaped Western State throughout its history.”
Guests will be among the first to see Western State’s new identity throughout the campus. They will also experience its new state-of-the-art features firsthand.
