Farewell reception for Julie Sutfin Aug. 3

Please join us at Mason Hall on Thursday, Aug. 3, 2-4 p.m. for a “New Adventure Celebration” for Julie Sutfin, facilities office coordinator, as she will be relocating to be closer to family. Julie served 14+ years at the college, starting out at LLCC-Medical District as the registration services representative, then transferring to main campus as the reservations technician and facilities office coordinator. Staff and faculty are invited to stop by and wish Julie well and enjoy refreshments.

Fire alarm testing

LLCC Facilities Services will be coordinating testing of main campus fire alarm systems from Tuesday, Aug. 1, through Friday, Aug. 4.

Outreach Center fire alarm systems will be tested during the following week, Aug. 7-10.

While we strive to keep disruptions to a minimum, it is necessary to occasionally activate system horns and strobes during testing. Your patience is appreciated as we perform these important tests.

Please call Facilities Services at 217-786-2304 with any questions or concerns.

Access points to Menard Hall limited July 28-Aug.14

Starting on Friday, July 28, contractors will have corridors closed for additional demolition outside the student services construction barrier. This will require the corridor between A. Lincoln Commons and Menard Hall, the corridor in front of Menard classrooms 1173-1179 and the corridor in front of Menard offices 1180-1185 to be shut down for approximately two weeks. Access to Menard Hall will be from the east (along the drive) during this time. We anticipate this to re-open on Monday, Aug.14. Please use caution and follow all signs, caution tape, cones, barricades and barriers in this area. Signs will be posted to help everyone navigate during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tim Ervin at 217-786-9605 or tim.ervin@llcc.edu.

Paving on main campus

As an update to the ongoing paving on the main campus in Springfield:

  • Sealing the entirety of Lots 14, 17, 18 and drive/parking area south of Cass Gym has been completed. It is acceptable to drive on this new surface; however, it will not have any parking lot lines painted for a few weeks. Please make sure to park in an orderly manner if using any of these three lots in the coming weeks.
  • Replacing existing regulatory signs (stop, yield, turn, parking, etc.) has begun. Some signs have been removed, and some are yet to be removed. Please use caution as you navigate campus as the signage replacement is ongoing.

Please use caution and follow all construction traffic signs, cones/barrels and directions during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tim Ervin at 217-786-9605 or at tim.ervin@llcc.edu.
