SBA Office
Completed
The picture featured depicts the past state of the Student Bar Association. It was functional as an office, yet the almost 40 years of wear and tear on the office furniture, clutter, and ripped walls, made it a place of avoidance and challenging use. A large portion of the time was spent fixing the wall, water, and mice damage (there are no mice anymore).
With a budget of $800, a winter break, and a few personal donations from a student, the office was recreated into a space that upholds the quality Mizzou Law yields. The work was completed by one student, with the help of a few other students and one retired teacher.
