University of Wyoming plans $10M law school expansion

The University of Wyoming is planning a $10 million expansion to its law school that coincides with the college’s centennial celebration next year.

The Laramie Boomerang reported Thursday the renovation to the College of Law is expected to be completed in December 2020, but the university expects most of the project to be done in time for the celebration in September 2020.

The university says U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is expected to speak for the law school celebration.

Law school dean Klint Alexander told university trustees that $4 million has already been raised for the project, which is still in the design phase.

The expansion project aims to bring the school’s various legal clinics into the law building.
