Bailey Event Space

In 2020, UF Law transformed its Bailey Courtroom into a multifunctional space that operates as both a high-tech classroom and an advanced event venue. An entire wall of digital screens presents an opportunity for immersive technology, and another wall of folding doors fully opens to a spacious deck that offers plenty of sunny and shaded areas for event flow – and a great place for law students to study.

Spessard L. Holland Law Center

Holland Hall was built in response to the influx of post-World War II baby boomers at the urging of Dean Frank E. Maloney who anticipated an increase in enrollment and campaigned for the new building. The building’s three stories contain faculty offices in addition to administrative ones such as the dean’s suite, development and student affairs and faculty support. The center is named in honor of Spessard L. Holland, who served as governor of Florida and as a U.S. senator. He graduated from UF Law in 1916.

His famous quote, “No man is above the law,” is displayed in large metallic letters in the foyer before entering the classroom.

Walking Trail

The half-mile path, which circles the UF Law campus, gives students, faculty and staff access to a conveniently located trail, making it a little easier to stay in shape or just get the blood moving in between classes.
