During the summer some of the food and drink vending machines on main campus will be turned off to conserve energy and reduce waste. Affected machines will be marked with signage, and every attempt will be made to keep a wide selection of food and drink available in the remaining machines over the summer.

For safety and sanitation reasons, LLCC Campus Services asks that no one other than food service personnel obtain ice from the ice maker in the back area of Subway in Menard Hall. Ice for individual consumption should only be obtained from the ice dispenser at the fountain drink unit located in the front area of Subway. Thank you for your cooperation.
