Floor Plans
What's in the new space? Here's a floor-by-floor layout and description of the new academic building and the new commons.
Academic Building
 |
Fourth Floor
Administrative offices comprise most of the fourth floor, including the Law School’s offices for finance, facilities, and development/alumni relations. |
 |
Third Floor
Clinical and research faculty offices fill the third floor, along with conference spaces where faculty can easily meet for professional discussions, meet with small groups of students, or just share lunch. |
 |
Second Floor
The second floor will house the Clinical Law program’s office suite. The floor will also be a hub for current students seeking information from the Financial Aid Office and prospective students coming to the Admissions Office for tours of Michigan Law. The School’s office of communications and media relations is also on this floor. |
 |
Main Floor
The busy main floor expands our instructional space by adding a large classroom, two medium classrooms, and three seminar rooms. The offices of Career Services and Public Service are also here for easy access to students as they determine their career paths. A lounge offers space for study or discussion between classes. |
 |
Lower Level
Rounding out our new instructional spaces are another large classroom and another medium classroom, as well as mechanicals. |
Commons
 |
Main Floor
Lively, light and open, the main floor of the Commons adjoins the first floor of Hutchins Hall and includes a large seating area where students can gather to study in groups or individually, socialize, or meet informally with faculty. Also on the main floor is a café—a coffee-house style space whose warm welcome helps ensure that the Commons will be the vibrant new heart of the Quad. |
 |
Lower Level
The lower level of the Commons is designed with student social and organizational needs in mind. Student groups can meet informally here, or can host seminars or speakers. Floor openings at the perimeter bring in natural light from above and connect the two levels visually. |
