Growth is good.

Georgetown University Law Center is planning on expanding. The school has purchased a $70 million building directly south of its existing campus. According to a report from Law.com, the new space will contain classrooms, offices, and collaborative workspaces.

“Over the last decade, we have seen unprecedented growth in our experiential offerings for students across our clinical, externship, practicum and simulation programs, all of which are deeply woven into the Washington, D.C., landscape,” said Georgetown Law dean William Treanor in an announcement of the new building. “Bringing together our centers and institutes in one location will help us prepare the next generation of leaders, by allowing Georgetown students to work across disciplines with top experts addressing critical global issues today.”

Funding the new space, at least in part, is the largest single gift from a GULC alum —- an incredibly generous $10.5 million from the Class of 1978’s Scott Ginsburg. In recognition of the donation, the law school will name four professorships after Ginsburg.

“The time I spent at Georgetown Law changed my life forever,” Ginsburg said in a statement. “Now, I’m able to return the favor, and transform the law campus. To be a part of these professorships and the transformative legacy they leave behind long after I am gone is the pinnacle of my career.”

Ginsburg spent his career as a radio broadcasting executive and founded a chain of auto dealerships.
