| The new Dickinson School of Law Building Abstract |
Recently, Penn State acquired the Dickinson School of Law based out of Carlisle, PA. Penn State's developers wanted to bring Carlisle's distinguished law program to Happy Valley so they decided to construct this new project. This building will serve as the flagship building for the new school of law at the University Park campus. The main features of this 113,000 SF building include numerous classrooms, a mock courtroom, a lecture hall, a snack cafe, and a legal library. In addition to these functional highlights, the building also features the aesthetic touches of an elaborate, curving glass curtain wall, curved interior walls and ceilings, and exotic wood finishes. Please take a look at the building abstract below for more details.

Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
