The Courtyard The Courtyard

The Law School’s four interconnected buildings, Golkin Hall, Tanenbaum, Gittis Hall, and Silverman Hall, are set around a central Courtyard. Uniquely among law schools, our faculty and staff offices, classrooms and seminar rooms, and student spaces are interspersed throughout the physical plant, rather than siloed in separate areas. The integrated design reinforces the collaborative spirit of the Law School community. The Law School’s state-of-the-art facilities include a large auditorium, high-tech classrooms and seminar rooms, a modern moot court room, numerous common areas for student learning and interaction, and indoor and outdoor spaces for quiet reflection.

Silverman Hall

Silverman Hall Silverman Hall

Penn’s Law School was first housed near Independence Hall in Center City Philadelphia, close to the city’s courts and law offices. In 1900, the Law School made the bold move to relocate, joining the rest of the University at the new West Philadelphia campus. The University community and distinguished jurists from across the country gathered to dedicate a new building celebrated as “the most completely beautiful and most beautifully complete building ever designed for the sole purpose of housing a law school.” The exterior of the building, designed in the English classic style of the time by the famous Philadelphia firm of Cope and Stewardson, incorporates shields and medallions bearing the names of significant figures in the history of Anglo-American common law.
