We've come a long way from our humble beginnings of 34 students in the basement of Old Main. Sinces its inception in 1924, the School of Law has expanded and had several homes. In the 1930s, we moved into the Chemistry Building. In the '50s, we moved into our own home of Waterman Hall. On May 20, 2005, we broke ground on a 50,000 square foot addition to our current facilities. The addition opened for the Fall 2006 semester on August 15, 2006.

The enhancements include:

* Four new state-of-the-art classrooms
- including the Bobby McDaniel Trial Practice Classroom
- the Al Witte Classroom
* Expansion of the Young Law Library
* The Norma Lea Beasley Entrace Hall, the new formal entrance to the Law School from the south
* 203 seat, technologically equipped E.J. Ball Courtroom
* Six Pioneers Room, honoring our first six African-American students
* Judge Robert F. Fussell Reading Room

Construction has started on Phase II. It is sceduled for completion in August 2007. Phase II will include:

* Dean's Administrative Suite
* Office of Student Affairs
- Admission
- Registrar
- Placement
* Graduate Agricultural Law Program
