Campus Overview
Ave Maria School of Law is located in Naples. Located a short distance from Southwest Florida International Airport, and just seven miles from the Gulf of Mexico, the law school’s location provides convenient access to an ideal environment for the study of law in a sought-after destination.
Our beautiful campus is located on 12.5 acres and is adjacent to a county park, providing our students, faculty, and staff with plenty of green space. Our Cancro Family Wellness Center totals 21,740 square feet and affords physical fitness activities for all levels, including classes, cardio, and weights.
Our campus also has student housing in apartments and single family villas and just over 100 students live on campus allowing for ease of access to studies, the Chapel, and our law library. We are family friendly, with several law students and their families residing on campus.
The Campus is located within the Vineyards planned community, consisting of over 2,100 homes on 1,375 acres. Immediately adjacent to the Ave Maria School of Law Campus is the 32-acre Vineyards Community Park and Vineyards Elementary School.
