The Common Grounds Brick Campaign

We are excited to announce a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy at Gonzaga Law School. As part of our commitment to fostering a peaceful, reflective, and restorative environment for our community, we are constructing a new reflection and meditation space behind the building that looks towards the Spokane River, The Common Grounds.

This serene and tranquil space will serve as a dedicated area for renewing one’s spirit, celebrating life’s moments, and seeking peace and understanding—an ideal setting for the important work of cura personalis—caring for the whole self.

The new meditation and reflection space will be located behind the School of Law building.

In support of this vision, we are launching a Brick Campaign for The Common Grounds to allow members of the Gonzaga Law School community to contribute in a meaningful way to this space. By purchasing a personalized brick, you can be part of the foundation of this special area, which will provide generations of law students, faculty, and alumni with a place to reflect, find solace, and engage in transformative conversation.

Why Participate?

  • Create a lasting legacy: Your personalized brick will be placed within The Common Grounds, a permanent reminder of your connection to the law school and the importance of peaceful dialogue and conflict resolution.
  • Honor someone special: Consider dedicating a brick in memory or honor of a mentor, loved one, or colleague who has significantly impacted your life or legal journey.
  • Support the law school: Donations are 100% tax-deductible, and proceeds from the brick campaign will help fund The Common Grounds’ continued development and maintenance, ensuring it remains a welcoming place for all.
