Construction re-routing some Menard hallway traffic this week

DetourAs a reminder, this week (April 15-19) contractors will be working outside of the Student Services construction barrier in Menard Hall. This requires the hallway between A. Lincoln Commons and Menard Hall to be temporarily unavailable during this time. Entering Menard Hall from the east or through A. Lincoln Commons and either up or downstairs will be the only way to access each building. In addition, this work requires mechanical systems to be offline for the early part of the week. Our LLCC Facilities team will do everything they can to keep buildings comfortable, but it is expected that temperatures in Sangamon, Menard, Cass Gym and Millennium Center will be slightly elevated during this time. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work to improve these areas of campus and hope the inconvenience is minimal. As always, please use caution and follow all signs, caution tape, barricades and barriers in this area. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tim Ervin at 217-786-9605.
