CLASS NOTES
GROUNDED Joining the 1970s homes of Darden and the Law School wasn’t easy. Philip Mills Herrington, a graduate of UVA’s doctoral program in history and author of a new book on the Law School’s buildings [see p. 22], said the two existing structures, which faced each other but not Massie Road, created “a really interesting design problem.”
“You want a building that tells the world that this is a nationally important law school, and you want something that revisits the history of the University and the Law School in a much more pronounced way than the 1970s buildings did,” Herrington said. “I think the architects did a fantastic job of solving that problem. I think
overall the Law School finally felt it had a building that matched its sense of self as an institution. That was something it hadn’t had since it left Clark Hall.”
