As a student-occupied renovation project, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School fills the six levels of 38 Oakes Street in downtown Grand Rapids. The project included renovation of the existing 54,000-square-foot structure and an addition of 45,000 square feet. Working within a tight urban environment was complicated and required extensive pre-planning due to the lack of storage and staging space. As the building is on the corner of two busy downtown streets, traffic flow and crane placement were also issues Rockford overcame.

A new entryway was created in the first phase that resembled Lansing's Cooley Law School building. The building’s lower level and first floor are home to the school’s law library. Classrooms and office space occupy the second and third floors, including one classroom built specifically as a courtroom.
