The latest renovations to the School of Law building are as purposeful as they are attractive.
Classrooms 02 and 05 have been converted to more versatile learning spaces with new technology for hybrid instruction and online participation. These classrooms also dramatically expand the school’s ability to provide continuing legal education programs remotely.
A new Student Success Suite replaces the former career services suite. The new suite is home to the registrar, student services manager, associate dean for students and the professional and career development staff.
A new Admissions Suite is fully devoted to admissions staff and student emissaries to conduct recruitment activities. These renovations were funded by a $3 million grant from the Sunderland Foundation.
Next up: outdoor renovations, including a raised-bed garden replacing the fountain on the Truman Terrace; and thanks to a generous grant from David Stoup (J.D. ’77) and the family of Arthur Stoup, an outdoor contemplative space/garden outside the south entrance facing 52nd street.
