Josep Lluis Sert’s design for the campus of the Boston University School of Law is one of the great modern complexes of the mid-twentieth century and the architect’s largest assemblage of structures in the world.

One of Sert’s seminal urban achievements, this group of five buildings dramatically altered traditional campus planning in America. The refinement of its concept and the imposing visual imprint it creates along the Charles River contribute to its historic legacy.

The centerpiece of the Law School, its 1962 Law Tower, stands as a noble example of the Heroic/Brutalist period. Widely regarded as the best of Sert’s tall buildings, it is recognized by some critics as the most innovative high-rise building of its period in New England. Yet, less than a decade ago, its future was far from certain.
