The smiles were big as the group walked over to the Carolina hardhats on top of shovels dug into the dirt. They joked and laughed and as the shovels plummeted into the soft ground, a sense of relief washed over the faces of those involved as the new era of the South Carolina Law School was started. Friday, the ground breaking was held at the new site of the law school on the corner of Senate and Bull streets.

You got to have things that get people excited that allow you to compete at the highest level, or people won’t come.” The renovations are set to be completed in 2017. The new building will feature around 20 classrooms, two of which will be flexible classrooms that can be molded into various-sized rooms. There will also be a 300-seat ceremonial courtroom as well as an eatery and a large student commons. “The way we teach law is changing,” We do it in small groups, with a lot of technology—those are the things we couldn’t do in our current building. We have a lot of 100-foot classrooms and this will be fl exible.

Now that the ground is broken, renovations are underway. There will now be a mandatory 18 months of construction along with other renovations and the fi nal touches to get the building ready for students to start taking classes in 2017.

MISSOURI • Continued from 1 overtime following the Tigers’ comeback. A failed attempt at two points would have left South Carolina in virtually the same position the extra point did. Missouri’s 14 fourth-quarter points highlighted one of the great defensive collapses in recent memory for the Gamecocks. The South Carolina defense held Missouri to 152 yards through three quarters. The Tigers fi nished the game with 280. “We should’ve stayed focused on the game,” redshirt sophomore Gerald Dixon said. “I feel like we took it as we won the game already. We shouldn’t have, and we’ve got to start focusing more at the end of the game.” Dixon, along with much of the South Carolina defense, had a monster Kamila Melko / THE DAILY GAMECOCK game up until Missouri’s comeback Guest picker Kenny Chesney picked effort.
