The schoolhouse c. 1915

The oldest building on the campus, it was originally the town's schoolhouse, built in 1892, with an addition constructed in 1911.[1] In 1973, it became the original Vermont Law School building. In 2005, the building was renovated and renamed Debevoise Hall, after one of the first deans of the Law School, Thomas M. Debevoise. Practicing what it preaches, the Law School emphasized environmental concerns in the renovation, as well as historical preservation and design efficiency. Debevoise Hall was the only LEED Silver Certified renovation building project in the state of Vermont.[2]

Debevoise Hall continues to serve as classroom space and now also houses administration offices, the Environmental Law Center, and the Yates Common Room.[3]
