The new 293,000-sf building houses classrooms, a major law library, moot court rooms, administrative and faculty offices, an alumni club, and a bookstore. A system of stacking atria on different levels creates a vertical campus for the urban school--a sense of campus it never had before. Located on Tremont Street, in the heart of Boston on the Freedom Trail, the Law School's day and evening programs help bring continuous activity to this important street.

The new building is equipped with the most advanced technological innovations, from classroom workspaces wired for laptop computers to moot court rooms equipped with advanced media capabilities.

High technology communication is a theme of the new 93,000-sf library, which occupies the top three floors of the building and enjoy views to the surrounding Beacon Hill. All carrels and reading tables are equipped with computer ports. Data/communication wiring, hardware, and software enables students to access the Internet, specialty information providers Lexis/Nexis Learning Center and Westlaw Learning Center, the local area network and, via satellite, real time interactive instruction from other institutions world wide.

The card catalogue system is fully computerized. A fully-equipped copy center and an internal elevator exclusive of the rest of the building ensure the security of the collection. The library provides increased space as well as expansion of the collections and database capabilities. It also serves as a research resource for many smaller law firms in Boston.
