The Hariri Pontarini and B+H Architects design for the Jackman Law Building envisions a site with three distinct elements: a new multi-storey wing on Queen’s Park Crescent; an extensive interior renovation to the Bora Laskin Law Library; and a light renovation to historic Flavelle House. The new building will increase our space by 50%, adding 66,000 square feet to our campus.

The official groundbreaking for the new building took place on June 4, 2013. The project began with hoarding installation at the end of May followed by site preparation and interior demolition. This page will feature updates and stories about the construction as it happens.
