New Building Construction

Jackman Law Building - view from Queen's Park

Toronto firm Hariri Pontarini’s design for the Faculty of Law’s new 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 takes place on June 4, 2013. Hoarding installation will begin May 29, and construction begins on June 10. This page will feature updates and stories about the construction as it happens.

Timeline
