GETTING TO THE LAW SCHOOL
THE GROUNDS
The David A. Harrison III Law Grounds reflect a recent $46 million
expansion and renovation project funded entirely by private support
from alumni and friends. The Law Grounds feature new classrooms, seminar
rooms, and moot courtrooms; comprehensive computer facilities; an expanded
library with a three-story reading room; new dining facilities; attractive
offices for student organizations; and numerous student lounges. Surrounded
by inviting gardens and an elegant, tree-lined lawn, the setting reflects
Jefferson’s conviction that locating an intellectual community
within a beautiful environment fosters learning and personal growth. Map
