Georgia Law - Virtual Tour
 

Dean Rusk Hall, dedicated in 1996, is the newest addition to the facilities of the School of Law. Although not physically connected to Hirsch Hall, it is located adjacent to the building and is only a short distance away. Rusk Hall is named in tribute to Dean Rusk, who served as Secretary of State during the administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson and was a faculty member at the School of Law for nearly a quarter of a century. The facility blends contemporary style with tradition. Its brick facade consists of several hues, integrating the various brick colors of surrounding buildings on North Campus.
