LAW BUILDING 1908-1953 TOWNES HALL 1953 The UT Regents approved preliminary plans for an addition to the Law School building, Townes Hall. An entire new wing, to be built on the west side of Townes Hall, will increase space for the library, provide study lounges, faculty offices and building services. The proposed construction is designed to relieve overcrowded conditions in 23-year-old Townes Hall. Demolition of the Wesleyan Building began soon after the plans were approved. Faculty and organizations housed in Wesleyan shifted to temporary quarters in Townes Hall. As the first visible sign of things to come, a slab was constructed adjacent to Townes. Professor John Sutton, chairman of a Law School Advisory Committee, suggested the structure so that consistency of building materials could be checked throughout the estimated two-year construction period. Remodeling is to be performed in phases. New classrooms, seminar rooms, student organization areas, lockers, student lounges, refurbished faculty offices, clinical legal education and placement offices are planned. The design also includes a moot courtroom, complete with judge's chambers and jury room. Keeton's Casino will be changed into a new student lounge, and the current basement will become The Rathskeller, a food service area with seating capacity of 250. The most ambitious part of the plan is the moving of the library info a proposed six-story structure. Greatly-expanded carrel space, and audio-visual room, an open access reserve reading room and a duplicating and print shop are major innovations proposed. To reduce inconvenience during construction, the noisiest remodeling will be done at night. Some disruption of classes is expected when the new utility tunnel is built. The balcony of the Charles I. Francis Auditorium will be converted into a walkway to connect the new building to the present structure. After the plan was formulated. Regents' Chairman Allan Shivers assured that enrollment of the Law School would not be increased. The 1933 UT Law School graduate said that the new addition was designed to ease overcrowding and was not contingent on increasing enrollment. Building Expansion — 9
