Construction Updates

October 29, 2024

I could not be more excited about all that is happening at MC Law! It's going to be a great year! -Dean John Anderson.

As we continue our much-anticipated renovations, some of our access points and spaces will be closed to students until they are completed. Please read the guidance below. We are grateful for your patience with this--and we apologize for any inconvenience. We promise it will all be worth it!!!!

There are three new security gates:

• The East Entrance to the Rear Lot (next to the Administrative Office Building and Library)
• The West Exit from the Rear Lot (next to the Law School Clinics and Student Center--NOTE: this gate is EXIT ONLY; you will not be able to enter the Rear Lot from this gate).
• The Foot Traffic Gate next to the Student Center.
  
  The vehicle Entrance to the Rear Lot (adjacent to the Admin Building) and the Foot Traffic gate can both be opened by touching your MC Law ID card to the touchpad next to the gate.  
  
  To exit the rear lot in your vehicle, you will just pull up to the West Exit Traffic Gate next to the Clinics and Student Center, and the gate will open for you. The plan is that traffic will move clockwise, and that vehicles will enter from the East Gate and exit through the West Gate.  
  
  The plan is to have these security gates operating 24/7. 

Guidance for building access over the next few weeks:

Administrative Offices: Our Administrative Staff have all moved back to their offices on the first floor along with Student Services.

Library: The newly renovated first floor of the library is now open (though we are still waiting on some finishing touches). You can access the first floor with your card through the double wooden doors off the back patio.

Parking: Both the large lot across the street on James Meredith Drive and the smaller lot behind the law school are open to students. But remember, the large lot closes at 5PM for security reasons; so, if you plan to remain on campus after 5PM, you will need to move your car to the lot behind the law school building. Students are free to park in any open space in the rear lot after 4PM (even if it is assigned to faculty or staff). 

Building Access: Most of the access points to the law school are now open. However, the Administration building entrance outside the Dean's Suite will be closed until further notice due to work being done on the exterior stairs and soffit . You can still access all of the 1st Floor administrative offices from the stairs off of the back patio, by using the stairs from the classroom lobby, or by taking the elevator down from the 2nd floor. Apologies for any inconvenience, but we are just a few weeks away from completion of Phase 1 and all access to our improved 1st Floor Classrooms and Offices will soon be fully restored!
