Since the 1980s, Georgetown University Law Center has expanded from one building to a campus that includes one of the finest law libraries in the nation as well as on-campus housing for students. The three buildings on our campus have set the architectural tone for the neighborhood as it has continued to grow and develop.

On June 1, 2002, Georgetown took the next step forward and broke ground for the Campus Completion Project - a project that will add the Eric E. Hotung International Law Center Building, a Sport and Fitness Center, and a second tree-lined green to the campus. The new site, on the corner of First and F Streets N.W., was acquired in 1999. The Law Center has also acquired the sole use of F Street between First and Second Streets, which is now closed to traffic.

The construction project is the culmination of a goal set more than two decades ago: to create a campus that would nurture students in mind, body, and spirit. The first step was the opening of the Edward Bennett Williams Law Library in 1989, a distinguished five-story building that now houses the third largest academic law library collection in the nation. The Bernard and Sarah Gewirz Student Center-a residence hall with apartments for 290 students-opened in 1993. An East Wing was added to McDonough Hall in 1997, which provides space for clinical programs, faculty offices, classrooms, and student organizations. During these same years, Georgetown assembled the largest and one of the most distinguished full-time law faculties in the nation.
