By the 1970s, the law school at UBC had outgrown its first building and embarked on a major renovation including the addition of a new multi-story concrete structure built in the Brutalist style fashionable at the time. The new building re-opened on September 17, 1976, as the “George F. Curtis Building.” Curtis, the first Dean of the law school, is pictured above.
