Griswold Hall, built in 1967 according to a design by Benjamin Thompson Associates, is a Harvard Law School building housing faculty offices, the dean's office, and a classroom. According to Bainbridge Bunting, Griswold Hall and nearby Roscoe Pound Hall together "constitute the most adroit example of design for a given environment produced at Harvard since World War II, an achievement that equals Charles Coolidge's best work of the 1920s."[1][2]

It was named for retired Harvard Law School Dean Erwin Griswold in 1979.[3]
