ABOUT Eckstein Hall

Eckstein Hall is an award winning, LEED-certified [silver level], four-story structure, of approximately 200,000 gross square feet, above a two-level, 170-space parking garage. The light-filled and spacious building features fourteen classrooms, eight conference/seminar rooms, numerous group-study rooms, two courtrooms, faculty suites and offices, a two-story reading room, a conference center, café, fitness center, chapel, two fireplaces, and a library that merges seamlessly into the rest of the building on all four floors. Each year, Eckstein Hall welcomes several thousand visitors and guests from the region to lectures, debates, town-hall meetings, conferences, and for library research—in the words of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “becoming Milwaukee’s public square, where people of different political views can come together and hash out the issues of the day.” The classrooms of Eckstein Hall are equipped with multimedia presentation equipment. Electrical outlets are discreetly available beneath the table tops. Smart podiums have equipment controls built into the podium and conference/seminar rooms have wall mounted equipment controls with LCD displays. All of the public areas of Eckstein Hall have wireless Internet access. In Eckstein Hall, reading and scholarship take place in small group-study rooms and in the open Huiras Lounge, in the silence of the Aitken Reading Room, in the comfort of the fourth-floor gallery overlooking the Marquette interchange—and in many other places as well. Reading and scholarship form the essence of legal education. Essential, too, to both that education and the human spirit are the relationships that future Marquette lawyers form with one another during their time in Eckstein Hall.
