Construction Updates

The Mississippi College School of Law announced plans to complete a $7.5 million renovation to its campus.

This project marks the first major renovation at MC Law in 20 years and will include a plan to improve campus aesthetics and amenities. Due to these renovations, parking and access to the facilities may be limited. Read below for more details.

The Latest Updates

October 1, 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!!!!

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). In the next few weeks, we will be adding an automatic security gate for the rear lot. We will update everyone on that and provide instructions when the time comes. 

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!
