The expansion of the 1970s-era law building relieves crowded conditions and provides space for classrooms, seminar rooms, student organization space, and offices. A bridge connection over 5th Street links the addition to the existing building and provides the law school with student lounge space. A new entrance lobby resolves accessibility and security needs and provides a footprint for expanding the library circulation desk above. The new entrance, together with the bridge connection and addition, provides the Rutgers University School of Law with a new image on campus.
