The stage 1 works occurred on the northern-side of the ground-floor and immediately adjacent to the entry of the building, which was closed for the duration of the works. 

History of the Law Building

The Law Building, including the Law Library is over 50 years old. It was first occupied in 1966 and was designed by architect Gus Ferguson who received a Royal Australian Institute of Architects Bronze Medal for the building in 1969 and subsequently, an Australian Institute of Architects 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture in 2010, recognising the significance of his design of the building. Ferguson Architects provided the architectural consultancy services for the refurbishment.
