Penn State Plans Demolition of Historic Law School Building
Penn State University has announced plans to demolish the Dickinson School of Law building this summer in order to replace it with a larger and more modern facility.
Trickett Hall has housed the Dickinson School since its founding in 1917. The red brick, colonial-style building has been a landmark of the Carlisle, Pennsylvania campus.
The new building is scheduled to open in 2008. A second law building is under construction on the University's College Park campus.
University officials say the new buildings are needed to provide law students with updated facilities and to accommodate growing enrollment. Applications to and enrollment in the Dickinson Law School have climbed dramatically in recent years.
