$46M Law School Building Enters Final Stage of Development

BOULDER, CO-University of Colorado at Boulder School of Law students, faculty, staff and alumni will celebrate the topping off of the new $46-million Wolf Law Building Thursday. A topping-out ceremony is the signing of the last beam, which is then hoisted to the top of the building. The 178,000-sf building, constructed in the neo-Tuscan style that marks the architecture of the CU-Boulder campus, is scheduled for completion in June 2006.

The building is named for the late Leon and Dora Wolf, parents of Marvin, Melvin and Erving Wolf, who, with their spouses, were the lead donors. The building is being financed largely by student fees and is being built to meet environmentally friendly “green building” standards. “This is a new high for the law school literally and figuratively,” says Getches. “It is tangible evidence of what we are achieving through the generosity of our private supporters and of the students at the University of Colorado.”
