Hi everyone,

For those who have toured NUSL or read the brochure, you will know that the University has decided to improve the law school (this means that the university is paying and not the law school). We have annexed the building next door aka Dockser. Last week, the school was offering tours of the still under construction building.

Another blogger and I decided to go Wednesday afternoon. We would get to wear hardhats and get a tour --so of course we were very excited. Even though it may not look it from the outside, the inside seems to be nearing completion. There will be four floors total. The ground floor will have a large commons and meeting rooms. This is a major improvement because most organizations do not have a set office. All student organizations share the one student activities room that has bins.

The second (considered the real first) floor will have the moot courtroom. This is my favorite because our current moot courtroom is nowhere near a showpiece. The tour guide also said they would even consider leasing it to a judge.

The new building will also have (I think) 6 more classrooms. This is amazing because class size has increased and this year especially it was difficult to find classrooms for the ULs. My professional responsibility class is located in two different buildings and my admin class is in the moot courtroom (hence my excitement).

Otherwise more bonus points for the new building is that it uses mostly green materials and will have a green roof!

I am incredibly excited about the new building, especially that I will be able to use it next year. Hopefully my classes will be scheduled there.
