State Sues Over UConn Law Library

The University of Connecticut School of Law thought it was getting a new landmark when it spent $24 million for a new library in 1996.  It did, but it also wound up with a $15 million lawsuit to go along with it.  The state government is suing the designers, contractors, suppliers, and inspectors involved in the project, which has been plagued since the beginning with leaks, mold, and stone facade that was falling off.

It may be an interesting case; a lawyer for the contractors said that they performed the work to the state’s specifications and that inspection reports were signed every day.
