Home of the Sturm College of Law, the Ricketson Law Building is named for Frank Ricketson Jr. (1896-1987), grandfather of outgoing DU law Dean Mary Ricketson. A 1919 alumnus of the Westminster College of Law (which later merged with the DU law school), Ricketson served on DU’s Board of Trustees from 1944-72. He was president of Fox Intermountain Theaters and also served as president of the Central City Opera for 26 years. Ricketson’s estate gave $12 million toward the building, which opened in 2003.
