The current building on the York University campus was constructed in 1968. The building has undergone a series of minor renovations and upgrades over the course of its history, but for the most part, has remained untouched since it opened 41 years ago. Not only has this led to a significant deferred maintenance problem, it has also meant that the facility is no longer suitable for the delivery of a modern law school program. The renovations to the existing structure will encompass the substantial gutting of the five-storey building, including most mechanical and electrical distribution networks and devices, which will allow this space to be completely redesigned and repurposed. The total Law School building area is approximately 215,100 square feet of which 192,100 square feet is slated for renovation. A single-storey addition of 23,100 square feet will be built over the podium structure of the existing library reading room.
