Initially located at Jalan Imam Bonjol No. 21, Bandung, the library has occupied the second and third floors of the Mochtar Kusumaatmadja Building on the Jalan Dipati Ukur campus since 2008.
The Mochtar Kusumaatmadja Building was inaugurated in early 2009. The inauguration was conducted by Unpad Rector, Prof. Ganjar Kurnia, on January 27, 2009.
“Prof. Dr. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja, S.H., LL.M, as an educator and statesman who has made extraordinary contributions to higher legal education in Indonesia.”
This library building is dedicated to Unpad's fifth Rector. Furthermore, the library's establishment reflects Prof. Mochtar's recognition of the importance of libraries as the heart of higher education.
The library building comprises four floors with a contemporary minimalist design, built on a 550-square-meter plot of land with a building area of 2,200 square meters. This library building is expected to fulfill the mandate of Article 3 of Law No. 43 of 2007 concerning Libraries, namely, to function as a vehicle for education, research, preservation, and information to enhance the nation's intelligence and empowerment.
The inauguration was attended by Prof. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja and several Unpad officials, including the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Husein Hernandi Bahti; the Vice Rector for Student Affairs, Trias Nugrahadi, dr., Sp.KN; the Vice Rector for Cooperation, Prof. Dr. Tb.

At that time, the Faculty of Law library used two systems: a Closed System in the circulation section, where users were not allowed to check out books themselves but had to ask staff to fetch them. The Reference Section used an Open Access system, where users could check out books themselves.
