New York Law School (185 West Broadway) « back
Summary | Daily Activities | Contact Info | FAQs | Links

185 West Broadway, November 2008 
New York Law School, one of the oldest independent law schools in the U.S., launched a $190 million expansion and renovation program that will transform the school's campus in Lower Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood into a cohesive architectural complex nearly double its current size.

The centerpiece of the expansion will be a new glass-enclosed, 200,000-square-foot, nine-level building -- five stories above ground and four below -- which will integrate with the school's existing three buildings.

The new complex will bring together the law school's classrooms, library, student spaces, administrative offices, and professional academic centers in a combined 346,000-square-foot environment -- expanding significantly upon the 205,000 square feet of space the school had occupied.

SmithGroup, one of the nation's leading architecture, engineering, interior, and planning firms, has designed the law school's new and renovated facilities. SmithGroup is recognized for its expertise in law school design; among its most recent law school projects are those for university clients Villanova, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Indiana, and the Catholic University of America.


Summary

Pavarini McGovern Construction Company erected the five-story building at the corner of Leonard Street to be the new library for New York Law School.

The new building faces Leonard Street and West Broadway, and houses classrooms, student spaces, and the law library. The law school's other frontage on Worth Street possesses a façade with a completely different character, one that directly relates to two distinctive existing cast-iron former warehouses. The scale and proportions of the neighboring buildings are echoed in the sleek glass grid of the new architecture, which was designed to respectfully acknowledge the historical context of Tribeca.
