The Westminster Law Library is part of the Sturm College of Law at The University of Denver, a beautiful urban campus which sits on 125 tree shaded acres with fantastic views of the Rocky Mountains. The library is approximately 36,000 square feet and occupies portions of three floors of the law school. The collection is housed on all three levels of the library with service points on each level. Inside the library you'll find The Hughes Room, donated in honor of an 1898 graduate of the law school, Gerald H. Hughes. This room contains several pieces of furniture from the honoree's office as well as over 3,000 volumes from his personal library.
The Sturm College of Law, which opened in its new location in 2003, was the first LEED certified law school in the United States. The physical orientation of the seating on levels 2 and 3 takes advantage of the natural sunlight. Additionally there are light harvesters to conserve energy and a five story "light-well" that allows natural light into the center of the law school. For visitors interested in an exciting alternative mode of transportation to the tour site, take a ride on Denver's new easy-to-use light rail line. The DU campus is located just a few blocks from the train station.
