Building Information

Building Hours and Access

The Ricketson Law Building is open daily from 5:30am – Midnight. Students are not able to access the building outside its operating hours. Students already in the law building before midnight are able to stay, but they must have their Pioneer ID Card with them to display to Campus Safety upon request.

Rule 81.9 of the Colorado regulations requires that employers permit their employees to use restrooms appropriate to their gender identity rather than their assigned gender at birth without being harassed or questioned. 3 CCR 708-1-81.9 (revised December 15, 2014), available at http://cdn.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/ DORA-DCR/CBON/DORA/1251629367483.

Sturm College of Law community members have the right to determine the most appropriate and safest restroom option for themselves. Both single occupant All-Gender Restrooms and multiple-occupant gender-segregated ("Men" and "Women") restrooms are available for use at Sturm College of Law. Our community members are not required to provide any medical or legal documentation of their gender identity in order to have access to gender-appropriate facilities. In addition, no law school community member is required to use a segregated facility apart from other members because of their gender identity or transgender status.

There are nine (9) single-user, gender neutral restrooms in the Ricketson Law Building within the Westminster Law Library. Three (3) restrooms are located on each of three floors of the law library against the east end of the library. Two on each floor are specifically designated gender neutral while one is specifically designated for wheelchair accessibility but is also considered gender neutral.

The Westminster Law Library can only be accessed through its main entrance on the 2^nd floor. A Pioneer ID Card is required to access the law library. Guests and others without ID cards may knock on the main entrance door to be granted access by library staff. Visit the Westminster Law Library hours webpage to review when the library is open and accessible.
