Also in 1973, Bannan Hall was built, including space for the Law School on the ground floor.

In 2018, the Law school moved into Charney Hall, a new $60-million building built specifically to house the Law school. The 96,000-square-foot building is a vast improvement over the school's previous facilities, which were spread over very different buildings, one of which was built a century ago. In contrast, Charney Hall calls to mind the nearby Silicon Valley tech campuses thanks to copious amounts of open space, natural light, cutting-edge classroom technology, plenty of student comforts, and flexible spaces that foster collaboration and innovative teaching.
