Overview

The Wasserstein Hall, Caspersen Student Center and Clinical Wing project, a new complex at the corner of Everett Street and Massachusetts Avenue, will transform student life and learning at Harvard Law School. It will dramatically improve the teaching environment, provide new spaces for student activities, and significantly strengthen the learning community.

It will also enhance the surrounding neighborhood by providing an attractive northern gateway to the Law School and to the Harvard University community.

The new complex will house three centers:

The Wasserstein Hall, bordering Massachusetts Avenue, will feature a range of classrooms and other learning spaces designed for 21st century legal education.

The Caspersen Student Center, adjacent to Harkness Commons, will be a central gathering place for students and will serve as a home for student organizations, journals, and social activities.

The Clinical Wing, on the Everett Street side of the site, will house the School's expanding clinical programs — the educational ground where theory and practice meet.
