The building at 121 W. Forsyth St., also known as 121 Atlantic Place, will be renamed for the Jacksonville University College of Law. The 10-story former home of Atlantic National Bank was the tallest building in Florida at the time it completed construction in 1909.

As the Jacksonville University College of Law completes the fall semester of its second academic year, it announced plans to move into its permanent space in the heart of  Jacksonville at 121 W. Forsyth St., the historic former Atlantic Bank Building, in summer 2024.

The law school formally signed a long-term lease of more than 50,000 square feet on four contiguous floors of the building. The space will accommodate the growth of the school and provide the opportunity to expand as it continues to welcome additional classes and hire more faculty and staff. The move to a larger, permanent space had been planned since before the law school’s inception in 2022. It will continue to hold classes on its current campus in the VyStar Tower until the new space is completed.
