Construction of the new Wolf Law Building at the University of Colorado at Boulder began in January 2005 and is on schedule for completion in August 2006.
This new $46 Million building will immediately enhance the learning experience of CU law students. The new law library, at 42,047 s.f., will be 50 percent larger than the existing law library. The Wolf Law Building will have 18 classrooms ranging in size from 20 to 100 seats, plus a 250-seat courtroom and a high-tech teaching courtroom. The University of Colorado at Boulder is seeking LEED certification for the Wolf Law Building.
The $48 million, 245,000 s.f. College of Law houses the University’s Law School Library, seventeen state-of-the art classrooms, a 120-seat lecture hall, 31 meeting/break-out rooms, and underground and structured parking for 770 vehicles. The building’s architecture incorporates the University’s signature copper roof, red brick and limestone features, as well as distinctive interior finishes including oak and quarry tile flooring. Construction on the 4-story cast-in-place concrete structure was in the heart of the University’s busy campus. The project site was land-locked on three sides by the Ricks School for the Gifted and Talented and three occupied fraternity houses.
The College of Law facility meets the LEED’s (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) criteria making it the nation’s first “green” law school. To meet the strict regulations for this certification, the building underwent a full commissioning process. This high quality building has been designed to last for the next 300 years.

It cost approximately $85,000 and is made with metal stud construction with plywood backing with various colors of dirt glued onto the surface. It is enclosed in glass and glazing system. The walls look like a giant terrarium. The addition nearly doubled the size of the facility.
