William H. Gates Hall, Law school building at University of Washington, Seattle, United States
The six-story William H. Gates Hall spans 196,000 square feet with natural light illuminating its classrooms, study areas, and the Marian Gould Gallagher Law Library.
The construction began in 2001 after decades of advocacy by faculty and alumni, replacing the inadequate Condon Hall to become operational in September 2003.
The building houses a porcelain statue of Takuji Yamashita, representing a 1902 graduate who faced legal discrimination despite completing his law education.
The facility contains modern classrooms, two mock courtrooms, a computer lab, faculty offices, and the largest legal library in the Northwest with 650,000 printed volumes.
The northwest entrance features a Douglas fir sculpture by artist Doris Chase, commemorating William Phelps Totten and William McCormick Totten.
