History

Present day

By the end of the twentieth century, the William & Mary Law Library was cramped and in need of overall renovation. With a strong budget, professional staff, and large collection, a $16.8-million renovation began in 2003 to address those needs. Construction between the spring of 2005 and the summer of 2006 added 22,000 square feet (2,000 m2) of space to the library.

On November 10, 2006, the library was renamed the Wolf Law Library to honor alumnus Henry C. Wolf (Bachelor of Arts, 1964; Juris Doctor, 1966). The new Law Library, which was completed in the spring of 2007, covers 58,000 square feet (5,400 m2) and houses 442,000 volumes.
