During summer months, the same rooms can be used to beam evening law school classes to Denver so that students can work downtown during the day. The law library will be able to increase and enhance its electronic resources, as well as have space to maintain the necessary balance between books and computers. Students, faculty and other library clients can search the library's catalog and extensive computerized holdings from library carrels, their offices and even their homes. They arrive computer-literate, already familiar with educational technology, and they expect to broaden that experience in law school. We need to be able to take them to the next step.
Many law firms are leaders in the technological revolution.
We cannot send them graduates who are not ready for that world. New campus buildings with modern infrastructure are not cheap. Funding sources will include a combination of private and public support. The project also will be supported by a tuition increase approved by CU law students in 1996. In addition, part of the funds will be requested from state appropriations and the rest secured through loans.
