Review our Plans and Progress

The concept, planning, design, and construction of Eckstein Hall is truly a collaborative effort involving the ideas, enthusiasm, and energy of Law School alumni, faculty, students, staff, University colleagues, and the many friends and benefactors of the Law School. Partnering with professionals in architecture and building, Marquette University Law School aims to have the best law school building in the country.

Those playing key roles in this effort include our architects Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott (Ralph T. Jackson, Principal), contractor Opus Corporation, and Marquette University Steering Committee members: Joseph D. Kearney, Dean and Professor of Law; Michael McChrystal, Professor of Law; Thomas Ganey, Director, Office of the University Architect; Kathy Kugi-Tom, Project Manager, Office of the University Architect; Julie Tolan, Vice President, University Advancement; and Jean Dole, Assistant Vice President, University Advancement.

Eckstein Hall will be built on the east end of the Marquette University campus on an historic site referred to as Tory Hill, a thriving neighborhood of Irish immigrants in the late 1800’s. Several hundred yards south of the Law School’s current home at the corner of North 11th Street and West Wisconsin Avenue, the new location will provide the same ease of access to Milwaukee’s legal and business community the Law School has enjoyed for nearly 100 years. The magnificent façade of Eckstein Hall will be visible to the thousands who pass daily through the “Marquette Interchange,” where Interstates 94, 43, and 794 come together.
