To better accommodate the Law School’s expanded programs, curricular offerings and personnel, Capital University purchased and renovated the building adjacent to the Law School – the Lindemann Building.

The new Law School Annex adds more than 14,000 square feet to the Law School’s facilities. The annex contains two new classrooms, a new computer lab, additional conference room space, and houses the National Center for Adoption Law and Policy, the Tobacco Public Policy Institute, the Paralegal Program, and the IT department. The classrooms were designed with a movable partition allowing for the creation of one space with a 150 person theatre- Professor Bill Bluth, Professor style seating capacity.
