I began by addressing accessibility issues, as the current entrance has none. I also shifted the main entrance to the southern elevation, giving it better access to the student thoroughfare of Liacouras Walk and SEPTA rail.

The parti diagram of the building is that of a new, evolving idea of the study of law, shown as a structure that is unwrapping from the existing building. The structure is mass timber, wrapped in a terracotta rain screen that presents as an unfolding tapestry.
