This new, 175,000 square foot law school building contains the usual law school components: a large law library, classrooms, moot courtroom, trial courtroom, faculty and administrative offices, along with related student facilities. The Washington University site is part of an extremely cohesive and picturesque collegiate Gothic campus whose design and master plan stem from a turn of the century design competition. Located at the north edge of the campus, the site slopes thirty feet from the quadrangle to the service drive to the north, effectively concealing much of the bulk of the building from the quadrangle side.
