Grant: Welcome to the University of Nebraska
College of Law's Schmid Law Library.
The newly renovated space provides ample opportunity
for community involvement.
Both studying and in between classes.
The Wellness Room offers a space for students to relax.
Including both a living wall, yoga mats, meditation mats
and different places for students to step away
from the stress of law school
and be able to enjoy and reflect.
-: I was having a tough day and I just sat in there.
And I was just quiet for a while and it was quite nice.
-: The new lower level offers a variety
of study spaces for students.
Including both seated and standing desk options.
And booths for students to study more privately.
The Acklie Family Student Commons offers a space
for students to engage with one another,
presentations and informal meetings.
While connecting the library to the law school
and the student lounge as a whole.
-: I love that we can meet up as group and
hang out and talk about cases,
or we can even just talk about life.
It's good to have a lot of common space.
I love that I can go into the reading room upstairs
and it's so quiet.
And I can just focus.
But I also love that, you know,
I come to the lower level and
I can chat with my friend about my Torts case
or something like that.
-: It kind of makes it modern,
it gives it a sleek look.
And I think we have more spaces as well,
that we can just go hang out.
We can either talk with some friends, with some groups.
We have some study rooms that are just single use rooms.
And I looked at Creighton University.
I looked at Nebraska.
I looked at Gonzaga.
Nebraska Law stood out.
-: Here's the deal,
in law school you're gonna study a lot.
You're gonna be in the building
where you'll go to law school a great deal.
So I think it ought to be a place that's really comfortable
and that meets your needs
and that all of your classmates want to be there with you.
That's what we've tried to build here.
-: As you can see at Nebraska Law,
we have great facilities and we hope to see here soon.
