Building the Future

In 2022, with consultation from Georgetown Law’s volunteer alumni boards, Dean William M. Treanor announced plans for a new academic law building on the Law Campus. Plans call for a 200,000-square-foot structure, in order to meet longstanding needs for students and to position the Law Center to best compete with peer institutions going forward.

To bring it to fruition, we need your help. Georgetown Law’s global alumni body and volunteer boards have already launched an inspiring fundraising effort. With a $30 million gift to name the new building Daniel Tsai Hall, successful Taiwanese businessman and 1979 Law alumnus Tsai set records for the largest single gift in Georgetown Law’s history, as well as the largest gift for facilities in Georgetown University’s history.

Now, alumni from the U.S. and abroad are naming spaces throughout the building — a compelling testament to the Law Center’s global reach and the support for this new initiative.

Daniel Tsai Hall greatly enhance the student experience on campus. It will feature:

  • 16 Classrooms — with smaller sizes of 24, 50, 60, and 75 seats
  • Student Gathering Spaces — to build community and foster collaborative work
  • Clinical Programs Suite — a home for the nation’s most highly regarded legal clinics
  • 75-Seat Moot Courtroom — a modern facility befitting an award-winning student moot program
  • Convening Spaces — event rooms with cutting-edge technology and sweeping outdoor terraces

The architectural firm of the late, renowned I.M. Pei has conceived the new flagship building as a community-friendly entrance to the Law Campus. It will provide much needed instructional, study, and gathering space for students, while serving as a new architectural landmark within the neighborhood.

Designed with a host of environmentally sustainable features, the building will include ten outdoor terraces planted with greenery, rooftop solar panel arrays, and a system for capturing and reusing stormwater. Its upper floors will offer inspiring views of the U.S Capitol building.

With Georgetown Law anchoring the university’s growing Capitol Campus, Daniel Tsai Hall will strengthen the Law Center for an increasingly prominent future of legal pedagogy, scholarship, leadership, and service. With a growing modern presence, Georgetown Law is the Law School of the 21st Century.
