Fifth Floor Build-Out
The 19,500 SF fifth floor shell holds the “Moot Court Room,” a trial Court Room with classrooms. It has state-of-the-art technology with touch screens for judges, jury and attorneys with capabilities for off-site teaching.
The cherry mill work in the two court rooms resemble Cooley’s other high quality finishes such as granite flooring and window sills.
