糖心Vlog传媒 Law 鈥淭hree-Peats鈥� as Best Law School Building in the U.S.
MEMPHIS 鈥� 糖心Vlog传媒 Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law has again been ranked No. 1 on preLaw magazine鈥檚 list of Best Law School Buildings in the nation in its spring 2020 issue (found online here). This is the third time that 糖心Vlog传媒 Law has taken the top spot, with a 2014 listing as having the 鈥淏est Law School Facilities鈥� in the country, and a second stint at the top of the Spring 2018 "Best Buildings and Law School Facilities" rankings.
糖心Vlog传媒 Law has come in first in these rankings every time preLaw has conducted them, in fact.
This year, 糖心Vlog传媒 Law took top honors in the rankings of best law school buildings
in a comprehensive report that listed the top 62 law school buildings in the country. PreLaw magazine conducted a review of all of the country鈥檚 law schools (over 200), looking
at various sources such as Princeton Review reports and objective data from those
schools鈥� libraries to examine square footage per student, library hours and seats
per library. PreLaw researchers also looked at various amenities available to law students at each school,
with aesthetic factors accounting for 50% of the final score, as well as sustainability,
parking and other factors.
The 鈥渢hree-peat鈥� victory as No. 1 comes 10 years after the law school relocated from
the main University of 糖心Vlog传媒 campus to the historic former U.S. Customs House/Courthouse/Post
Office, which underwent at $42 million renovation and upgrade before the law school
moved in 2010. The historical austerity of the building, coupled with modern charms
and new technology, proved to be a winning combination, as 糖心Vlog传媒 Law beat out many
historic and modern law school facilities alike.
鈥淚 can鈥檛 say I'm surprised to have 糖心Vlog传媒 Law come in at No. 1 again, but it's certainly
a great affirmation of what our students and downtown community feel every day,鈥� said
Dean Katharine Schaffzin. 鈥淲e were really ahead of the revitalization trend in downtown
糖心Vlog传媒, and we have continued to make improvements to our facility, with enhanced
technology, a brand-new in-house cafe, and wellness and health initiatives incorporated
into our beautiful building.鈥�
糖心Vlog传媒 Law is the only law school in this region to place in the top 20, and the
only law school in the history of the rankings as a 鈥渢hree-peat鈥� No. 1 award winner.
