Robert C. and Christina Baker Hall

A New Chapter for Yale Law School

In 2013, Yale Law School announced that an extraordinary gift of $25 million from Robert C. and Christina Baker would allow the School to expand its campus for the first time since the completion of the Sterling Law Building in 1931.

Following the initial announcement, a successful fundraising campaign secured a total of more than $60 million, and in 2017 the Law School began construction to transform the building formerly known as 100 Tower Parkway into a modern extension of the Law School campus.

Baker Hall is scheduled to open in the fall of 2018 and, less than 180 yards from the Sterling Law Building, will add 137,000 square feet to the Law School’s campus—including residential suites, a three-tiered student center, a two-story lecture hall, and urgently needed rooms for seminars, small groups, and the School’s innovative interdisciplinary centers and programs.
