This project for Vermont Law School transforms the current South Royalton Legal Clinic (SRLC) into the new Center for Legal Services. The project is a total rehabilitation of the former Freck’s Department Store building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the South Royalton Historic District. The new design will recognize the significant historic features of the former building that include pressed tin siding, window and door trim, and storefront windows with transoms.

The lower level will include the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic, administration office space, and clinician, as well as conference and shared office space. The second floor will be the new home for the legal clinic, meeting and conferences room and general office space. The storefront of 190 Chelsea Street will be the new home for the non-profit, student-run Barrister’s Bookstore.

A ribbon cutting for the new center is planned for August/September in 2013.
