 Eck Hall of Law Open for Business
Students, faculty, and staff of the Notre Dame Law School were welcomed into their new home, the newly constructed Eck Hall of Law, in January 2009. Take a video tour of the new building here.
The construction involved renovating the existing Law School and connecting it to a brand new building. Once all construction is finalized, the existing law building, which will be renamed Biolchini Hall, will stand as a fully functional space that will house the Kresge Law Library and administrative offices. A covered archway will link Biolchini Hall to the adjacent Eck Hall of Law, which will house classrooms, faculty offices, and administrative space. The two buildings will share a connecting chapel.
The new building offers the double advantage of the charming architecture that is characteristic of Notre Dame’s more historic buildings and the cutting edge technology to promote advanced thinking and learning within the school.
