Highlights of the New Law Center
The new home of Baylor Law School, the state-of-the-art Sheila and Walter Umphrey Law Center,
recently opened for the Fall 2001 academic term. The project
architect is SmithGroup, Inc. of Washington, D.C., which operates across the
nation and abroad.
The three-story classically styled structure has 128,000 square feet and is located on the banks of the Brazos River. The site features striking views and beautiful landscaping in a courtyard, on lawns and on a river terrace.
Principal donors include Walter and Sheila Umphrey, John Eddie and Sheridan Williams, and Harold and Carol Ann Nix. The current Building and Endowment Campaign of the Law School has been remarkably successful in underwriting not only the new law center, but also in significantly augmenting our endowment, which is applied principally to student scholarship support for our approximately 400 students.
Baylor Law School now has a home that reflects the excellence of our program! The pages in this section allow visitors to take a virtual tour of the entire facility.
The new Slide Show is now online. It requires Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, and delivers a stunning tour of the new law center. The slide show provides you with the option of clicking through the presentation, or allowing the show to run automatically. If you would like to click through the show manually, click on the arrow keys at the bottom of the screen. You may run the show automatically by clicking on the small screen icon (little screen) at the bottom right of the screen. This will also provide you with a wonderful full screen of the presentation.
