Randall and Sadie Baskin Center, College of Law

The Baskin Center contains more than a dozen classrooms, a 21st century trial courtroom, an appellate courtroom, a two-story law library and more than 20 faculty offices. The building was designed with the needs of law students in mind, and features numerous amenities including a student common, offices for student organizations and a locker room.

ICT provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design and construction administration for a new three-story, 71,000 SF classroom and office building and 500-car parking garage. 

Sustainability:

  • LEED NC Gold
  • Five percent of the parking is designated for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles and carpool vehicles.
  • Electric charging stations.
  • Geothermal system provides stable temperature pre-heating and cooling.
  • Highly efficient water source heat pumps.
  • 27 percent energy savings.
  • Minimization of the building’s footprint covers five levels of underground parking for 520 vehicles.

Project Highlights:

  • The Baskin Center offers four different porticos to represent the four types of law: local, state, federal and God's.
