Story

Jarob partnered with the designer of this project, Cardosi-Kiper Design Group (Chicago, IL) as well as with the University of Notre Dame on this project.

In 2001, The Law School embarked on a $57,680,000 expansion and renovation plan. The new building houses classrooms, faculty offices, and administrative office space, and connects to the “old” structure by a covered walkway and chapel at ground level, and by a commons area above.

Renovation of the gothic structure that has been home to The Law School since the 1930s has already begun. When completed in June 2010, that structure will house a renovated Law Library and administrative office space.
