Law School Expansion

In January 2009, Notre Dame Law School faculty, students and staff will move into the Eck Hall of Law, a new building that combines the University’s storied charm and tradition with cutting-edge technology and significantly more space. After completion of this construction, the beautiful, gothic structure that has been home to the Law School since the 1930s will be renovated to house an expanded Kresge Law Library and some administrative offices. Connected by a covered walkway and a chapel and commons area above, the new facility will capture the Law School’s commitment to shaping the minds, hearts, and souls of the next generation of Notre Dame lawyers.

“The new building will be a dramatic symbol of our continuing quest for excellence. It will play a critical role in helping us to attract the very best faculty and students to Notre Dame, and contribute greatly to creating and recreating each year a dynamic community grounded in the Judeo-Christian intellectual tradition.”
Dean Patricia O’Hara
