Barco Law Building is an academic building housing the University of Pittsburgh School of Law on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The $8.5 million ($37.8 million today) six-story building was opened in January 1976 and dedicated on May 1, 1976. The Barco Law Building was designed by the architectural firm of Johnstone, Newcomer and Valentour and is a classic example of brutalist architecture.
The University of Pittsburgh has offered law classes since 1843. The School of Law was officially founded in 1895, making it one of the oldest law schools in the nation. In 1900, the law school joined with 31 other schools to form the Association of American Law Schools.
On June 19, 2003, Pitt’s School of Law Building was renamed as the Barco Law Building, in memory of George J. Barco and his daughter, Yolanda G. Barco. The Barcos were graduates of Pitt’s School of Law and former trustees who were long-standing supporters of the law school, both in life and through their estates. George Barco served as trustee from January 1972 to March 1980, when he was elected as an emeritus trustee. Yolanda Barco served as trustee from February 1990 to June 1997 and was elected an emerita trustee in October 1997.
