Columbia University Law School This addition elegantly resolves the formal and
programmatic challenges entailed in expanding the 1963 Harrison and Abramovitz
building, and in so doing, revitalizes the School's identity and celebrates
its tradition of academic excellence. The project connects the previously
isolated law school with the university campus and adds user amenities
lacking in the original program. Principal project elements include: a
new entry and marquee, grand stairways that penetrate the new three-story
entry lobby, a café, lounges, student activity spaces and the renovated
law library. The new south-facing façade, which is defined by a
horizontal rhythm of aluminum sunscreens, provides a striking counterpoint
to the vertical definition of the original building. Awards
