Law School Classrooms Open, Infill Progress Continues

30,000 Square Feet Added to Complex

A $2.8 million renovation of classrooms and facilities at the GW Law School was recently completed. The renovation project provides extensive refurbishment of facilities at the Burns/Stockton/Lerner halls complex.

Twelve classrooms totaling more than 18,000 square feet were renovated and received new furniture, paint, carpeting, and electronic hardware. The renovations provided high-tech classroom additions such as ‘smart podiums.’ The new lecterns, housing a built-in PC with a CD/DVD drive and access to the Law School network, allow for Internet access, video conferencing, and telecommunications.

The renovations are only part of the substantial changes at the Law School. Construction continues at the Law School infill project, a 30,000 square foot addition connecting the Burns/Stockton/Lerner halls complex and the Stuart/Lisner halls complex on all five floors.

When completed the addition will contain faculty and administrative offices, as well as conference and seminar rooms. The facade of the 1890s townhouse has been affectionately retained, utilizing many of the charming architectural style of the original design.

Exterior work on the infill is nearing completion and interior construction, including mechanical and electrical work, is well underway. Occupancy is expected later this academic year.
