Trustees of the University of Maine System will meet next week to begin considering a new, interim location of the UMaine School of Law and a new name for a building on the UMaine campus in Orono.
The Finance, Facilities, and Technology Committee of the UMS Board of Trustees is scheduled to take up both matters at a meeting Wednesday, May 5, at 9 a.m. The committee may then make a recommendation to the board in advance of its meeting on May 24.
The board is considering a lease at 300 Fore St. in Portland as the interim home of the law school and for staff of the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center. The current law building, at 246 Deering Ave., was constructed nearly 50 years ago and its design is now “functionally obsolete for the educational needs of the 21st century,” according to a UMS news release.

A committee of the University of Maine System Board of Trustees will consider renaming a lecture hall on the Orono campus that for more than half a century has borne the name of a former university president who also was a proponent of eugenics.
Clarence Cook Little was president of the University of Maine from April 1922 until August 1925. Little Hall, dedicated in 1965, was named for him.
