Over winter recess, contractors will be removing and replacing flooring and painting walls on the first floor of Sangamon Hall in the corridor only. They will be using caution tape to section off areas where they are working that might limit pedestrian traffic to some areas for a day or two at a time. They will not have the entire corridor closed off, but will be working their way around the corridor, so access to spaces shouldn’t be an issue over the break. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please call Tim Ervin at 217-786-9605 or at tim.ervin@llcc.edu.

Disinfecting kits
LLCC Facilities Services is disinfecting the commonly touched surfaces of classrooms and labs that have at least two hours between classes, per the established schedule. We are also providing disinfecting kits for faculty and staff to use when appropriate. The kits contain an EPA approved disinfectant, disposable paper towels, disposable gloves, eye protection and a spare face mask. We’ve also included the Safety Data Sheet for the disinfectant as well as guidelines for disinfecting.
Faculty and staff are advised to wear the provided gloves and eye protection, spray all commonly touched surfaces such as chair arms, table tops, desktops, door handles and light switches with disinfectant and let it sit for at least five minutes before wiping off with the provided towels. All towels can be disposed of in the normal trash receptacles.
Disinfecting kits can be requested by a department for a specific space by submitting a Facilities Work Order.
Fire alarm testing today
LLCC Facilities Services will be coordinating testing of fire alarm systems in all LLCC buildings beginning this morning, Aug. 10, 2020. While we strive to keep disruptions to a minimum, it is necessary to sound the horns and activate the strobes during testing. As always, your patience is greatly appreciated as we perform this vital service.
