Fauteux Hall houses the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, including both the Civil Law and Common Law sections of the faculty. The building is 5 storeys tall and clad entirely in concrete. On the lower levels, the concrete is smooth, cast-in-place, while the upper levels feature rougher concrete panels.

A sunken entry along Copernicus Street brings students down into the building, while two overhead arms connect the building to the rest of the campus. The building features the same rounded egress stairs as the Lamoureux Hall across the campus.
