Griswold Hall, built in 1967 according to a design byBenjamin Thompson Associates, is aHarvard Law School building housing faculty offices, the dean's office, and a classroom.According toBainbridge Bunting, Griswold Hall and nearbyRoscoe Pound Hall together "constitute the most adroit example of design for a given environment produced at Harvard since World War II, an achievement that equals Charles Coolidge's best work of the 1920s."[1][2]
It was named for retiredHarvard Law School DeanErwin Griswold in 1979.[3]
