LSE officially renamed the building formerly known as 32 Lincoln’s Inn Fields after Nobel Prize winning economist and LSE’s first black academic Sir William Arthur Lewis (1915-1991), who studied, taught and researched at the School.

Renamed in March 2023, the Sir Arthur Lewis Building (SAL) is home to departments including the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP), the International Growth Centre (IGC), the Department of Economics, the Centre for Macroeconomics, and the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines (STICERD).
