The library is organized around the second floor, triple-height Reading Room, which addresses the new courtyard and the existing Holy Cross Hall to the south. The tall windows of this 4,000 square foot space give views onto the landscaped courtyard and celebrate the display of readers and books to the campus. Table and lounge seating for 80 students are provided in this great room, as well as the 2,000 volume reference collection. The book collection and individual study carrels are distributed equally on Floors 2,3, and 4, which open directly to the Reading Room.

A wood panelled lobby at the First Floor connects the building entrances from the courtyard to the south and the parking areas at the north, and functionally separates the high-technology classrooms from the Library proper. A tiered room for 50 students and a smaller room for 20 provide both computer and audio-visual facilities.

Framing the interior entrance to the Library are display cases and video/computer monitors, informing visitors about the history of the Law School and the resources of the Law Library. Behind the grand stone stair that leads to the Main Reading Room are the primary support spaces for the administration of the Library, Computer and Audio-Visual Services, and Technical Services.

The west wing of the Law Library provides a total of 11 private studies and 11 group study rooms, which serve from two to eight students each, on the second and third floors. Included are a suite of offices for the Reference Librarians. Crowning the west wing and surrounded by a roof terrace is the Rare Book Reading Room.
