The law school started in its downtown location during the 1820s. It relocated to York University campus in the mid-1960s due to space restrictions at the downtown location and a new requirement in the 1960s that law schools affiliate with universities. In 1968 the School became a faculty of the university. The building was designed by the Toronto architectural design firm, Marani, Routhwaite and Dick and was completed in 1969. Five stories tall, it is a low-rise building like many other buildings on campus. The building includes Brutalist elements such as precast concrete. It also has a flat roofline and brick cladding.
