Trustees Leonard Wilf (LL.M. ’77) and Mark Wilf ’87 cut the ribbon on the Law School’s newest building, Wilf Hall, which they generously underwrote. Located at 139 MacDougal Street, Wilf Hall was designed and constructed to platinum-level specifications of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and houses a dozen centers, programs, and institutes, plus an admissions welcome desk. Cool features include a green roof and terraces, and bike storage space.
