This competition-winning design is the centerpiece of the first phase of Fordham University's 15-year master plan for its Lincoln Center campus. The project consists of a 22-story building, clad in a curtain wall of architectural precast panels, metal, and glass and shaped with a series of undulating arcs to make an engaging gesture toward Lincoln Center while providing a distinctive identity for the Law School. The latter will be housed in the lower nine stories, with a residential tower accommodating 430 undergraduates rising above.

When completed in 2014, the 468,000-square-foot building will more than double the Law School's current program, event, and office space. The structure, which is designed for LEED Silver certification, will feature a two-story atrium, a moot and trial court facility, and a 562,000-volume law library. The Residence Hall will contain primarily double rooms with shared baths, and apartments for faculty and resident directors will be distributed throughout.
