An adjacent room served as an office for the dean and administrators. In 1873, just a year after opening, the school relocated a few blocks away to 18-20 Beacon Street. However, the facilities at the new location were small and not suitable for the law school. Eventually, all classes, as well as the administrative offices and library, returned to the Wesleyan Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 1883, enrollment at BU Law had grown to 184, the highest since the school opened. In spite of expanding to occupy most of the third floor, the law school needed more space. The following year, the trustees purchased 10 Ashburton Place, a six-story building on Beacon Hill, which became the new home of BU Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wesleyan Building later became the home for Emerson College of Oratory, known today as Emerson College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-editorial-photoessay record-block-editorial-photoessay alignfull wp-block-photoessay js-block-editorial-photoessay\"><div class=\"photo-row-tall-1-1\">\n<div class=\"photo-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"870\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-870x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white historical photo of 36 Bromfield St, Boston\" class=\"wp-image-95338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-870x1024.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-541x636.jpg 541w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-768x904.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-1306x1536.jpg 1306w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-702x826.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-580x682.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-877x1032.jpg 877w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-1123x1321.jpg 1123w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-292x344.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-450x529.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-585x688.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-899x1058.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-1159x1364.jpg 1159w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-1404x1652.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield-850x1000.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/36-Bromfield.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"870\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-870x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white photo of 18-20 Beacon Street, Boston\" class=\"wp-image-95337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-870x1024.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-541x636.jpg 541w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-768x904.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-1306x1536.jpg 1306w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-702x826.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-580x682.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-877x1032.jpg 877w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-1123x1321.jpg 1123w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-292x344.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-450x529.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-585x688.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-899x1058.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-1159x1364.jpg 1159w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-1404x1652.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon-850x1000.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/18-20-beacon.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-caption\">Left: 36 Bromfield Street, Boston.

However, by the early 1950s, it had become apparent that the facilities on Beacon Hill had grown inadequate and outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After studying possible sites, the University agreed to build a 17-story structure on the banks of the Charles River. In May 1959, before a crowd of 500 BU Law alumni, BU President Harold Case announced plans for the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image alignfarright\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Law Building from Storrow Drive in 1979\" class=\"wp-image-68980\" width=\"1251\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-scaled.jpg 2501w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-621x636.jpg 621w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1000x1024.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-768x786.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1500x1536.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-2001x2048.jpg 2001w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-807x826.jpg 807w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-666x682.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1008x1032.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1290x1321.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-336x344.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-517x529.jpg 517w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-672x688.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1034x1058.jpg 1034w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1332x1364.jpg 1332w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-1614x1652.jpg 1614w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-2016x2064.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/05\/1981-law-tower-977x1000.jpg 977w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1251px) 100vw, 1251px\" \/><figcaption>The law tower from a Storrow Drive overpass in March 1979.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On October 29, 1964, US Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren addressed the BU community at the dedication of the law tower at 765 Commonwealth Avenue. \u201cYour president and board of trustees, the donors who made this building possible, and your faculty are planning for life and for the lives of generations to come,\u201d he told the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early days, the law school occupied the first eight floors and the BU School of Education occupied the floors above. In 1970, the law school took over the ninth floor, and in 1981 when the School of Education moved to its current home at 605 Commonwealth Avenue, BU Law took over all floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the turn of the 21st century, external and internal issues had surfaced in the tower. For example, it could take as long as 20 minutes for a student to travel from one class to another utilizing one of the building\u2019s six small elevators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2008, the University announced a two-phased master plan for the law tower\u2019s restoration, renovation, and expansion. The first phase focused on constructing the adjoining 100,000-square-foot Sumner M. Redstone Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second phase focused on a complete renovation of the law tower, which included restoring the building\u2019s facade, replacing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and updating window and metal panels with energy-efficient units. The Pappas Law Library also received cosmetic and structural upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Sumner M. Redstone Building opened its doors to students and faculty in September 2014, it instantly transformed the BU Law experience. \u201cFrom the bright and open atrium to the beautiful views of the Charles River, to the brand new student commons and cafe, this is a whole new BU Law,\u201d said Maureen O\u2019Rourke, dean emerita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-editorial-photoessay record-block-editorial-photoessay alignfull wp-block-photoessay js-block-editorial-photoessay\"><div class=\"photo-row-fourths-2-2\">\n<div class=\"photo-2\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"A 1964 black and white photo of Professor and Dean William Schwartz teaching one of the first classes in the law tower\" class=\"wp-image-95420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-636x445.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1180x826.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-974x682.jpg 974w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1474x1032.jpg 1474w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1887x1321.jpg 1887w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-491x344.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-756x529.jpg 756w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-983x688.jpg 983w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1511x1058.jpg 1511w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1949x1364.jpg 1949w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964-1429x1000.jpg 1429w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/765-Comm-first-class-1964.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><p class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media-caption wp-prepress-component-caption\">Professor (and future dean) William Schwartz teaches one of the first classes in the law tower in 1964.<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-2\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"A 2019 photo of Professor Daniela Caruso teaching a class in the Redstone building\" class=\"wp-image-95419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-636x445.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1180x826.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-974x682.jpg 974w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1474x1032.jpg 1474w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1887x1321.jpg 1887w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-491x344.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-756x529.jpg 756w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-983x688.jpg 983w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1511x1058.jpg 1511w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1949x1364.jpg 1949w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019-1429x1000.jpg 1429w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2022\/09\/classroom-2019.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><p class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media-caption wp-prepress-component-caption\">Professor Daniela Caruso teaches a 2019 class in the Sumner M.

Redstone (Hon.\u201994), the former chairman of Viacom and CBS who taught at BU Law from 1982 to 1985 and is credited with developing the school\u2019s first entertainment law class. Redstone\u2019s generous gift of $18 million toward the project was bolstered by pledges from alumni, faculty, and staff. By the end of the capital campaign, the school had raised $44 million for the new building and the refurbished law tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project broke ground in 2008 with the construction of the Redstone building, which houses classrooms, spaces to gather, and the Samuel M. Fineman Law Library. \u201cIt was previously a vertical school of law with all of the classrooms stacked on top of each other,\u201d explained Leland Cott, a founding principal of Bruner\/Cott &amp; Associates, the lead architecture firm on the project. \u201cWhat the school wanted was a more horizontal school of law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Redstone building delivered on that wish with learning spaces that encourage collaboration and open areas, such as the glass-enclosed Robert T. Butler Atrium, which invites students, faculty, and visitors to gather and interact. The structure also includes modern features that improve air, environmental, and acoustic quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-end-of-article\">For current and future students, the Redstone building serves as a symbol of opportunity. \u201cI think all of us had a wow moment when we entered the new building,\u201d said Meghan Kelly (\u201915). \u201cTo be able to have this beautiful building and these resources backing us is a source of pride for all students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"wp-block-editorial-collection-billboard
