Ayers Saint Gross Architects + Planners, a Baltimore-based firm, has been chosen by Drexel University to design the new Earle Mack School of Law. The rapid success of the school, founded in 2006, has led to an increase in enrollment and faculty, which is creating demand for additional space.
The new Earle Mack School of Law, which will total over 150,000 gross sq. ft., is designed to accommodate all of the program requirements for the school to grow to 600 students and 48 faculty members, including classrooms and group study spaces, practice courtrooms, a law library and reading rooms, print and electronic journal suites, and community space. Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2011.
In continuous practice since 1915, Ayers Saint Gross, Architects + Planners has completed Schools of Law for the University of Virginia, Syracuse University and Rutgers University, and are currently designing a School of Law for the University of Baltimore in addition to Drexel University. Their focus is on non-profit institutions that collect and disseminate knowledge and culture.
