School building named
Real Estate Weekly, Jan 5, 2005
Brooklyn Law School's new high-rise student residence will be named Feil Hall, in recognition of the generosity of the Feil Family Foundation, whose $4 million gift to the school Dean Joan G. Wexler recently announced.
"The construction of a new building is an important event in the life of any institution, but the construction of Feil Hall marks a turning point in the life of Brooklyn Law School," Dean Wexler said.
"It means that for the first time in our hundred year history, we will be able to house a critical mass of students.
"It means that our students will be able to live together in a vibrant living and learning community. We deeply appreciate the Feil Family Foundation's extraordinary generosity."
Feil Hall, which was de signed by architect Robert A.M. Stem, Dean of the Yale School of Architecture, will house approximately 360 students in 239 units.
Feil Hall is located at 205 State Street, three blocks from the law school's main building at 250 Joralemon St.
"We saw a pressing need and a strategy for responding to it that we were proud to support," said Jeffrey Feil, President of the Feil Family Foundation and CEO of The Feil Organization, one of the largest privately owned real estate companies in the United States.
He is a 1973 graduate of the law school and a member of its Board of Trustees.
Currently, the law school, which has a student body of 1,500, houses some 150 students in eight smaller buildings that it owns in Brooklyn Heights.
