The $63 million structure was built with DU’s signature blend of red brick, limestone trim and copper, and was outfitted with the latest in-class and courtroom technology, includ- ing building-wide wireless access, “hot seats” in every classroom, a fully equipped training/ mock trial courtroom, and in-class digital document cameras, which provide the ability to display crisp images of materials that are not in digital format.
