The Law Library is located within the Boyd Law Building and is spread over four floors. The only entrance and only non-emergency exit is located on the second floor. The Law Library has one elevator and two stairwells to facilitate access between floors. Restrooms are available on each floor. Single-user restrooms are located on the second and third floors. The single-user restroom on the third floor is connected to a lactation/meditation room.
