Project Description

The new Faculty of Law project is a proposed 4 storey 135,000 square foot LEED Gold building. It will consist of a concrete frame with brick, wood and glass exterior cladding; geo thermal htg. The building will be a replacement structure for the existing Curtis Law building. The building will be a mix of assembly spaces, including a library component that makes up approximately 40% of the area. Offices, Classrooms and informal learning spaces will make up the balance of the program. A three storey forum space, with retractable seating, is an integral part of the atrium. The new building will be constructed adjacent to the existing Law library, which will be kept in operation until after the completion of the new building and collections are moved over. The project schedule and General Conditions should anticipate the partial demolition of the existing Curtis Building, with sufficient time allowed in the schedule to demolish the library after completion of the building and collections move.
