You may have noticed several changes in campus parking lots recently. Ten parking spaces next to the Millennium Center have been blocked off to provide contractors space for equipment and vehicles for an upcoming boiler project. These spaces will be blocked off through the end of October, the estimated duration of the project.
Also, there are now two concrete barriers at the corner of Cass Gym where the sidewalk in front of the building crosses the roadway. There have been concerns expressed regarding vehicles not stopping at the corner of the building and pedestrians not looking up as they are walking. By placing the barriers there, the pedestrian traffic is forced to the right which places them in view of vehicles. The crosswalk will also be repainted to reflect the new pedestrian walking flow.
Early fall is upon us and it’s a great time for a lunchtime stroll around campus. If you’re heading to the Bistro for lunch, stop by the Trutter Museum for a sneak peek of the latest exhibit, “Trutter: Black and White.” Opening September 30 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m., the exhibit features black and white photographs of many Springfield and central Illinois buildings designed by Phil Trutter, as well as black and white artifacts from the Trutter world heritage collection. The reception is open to LLCC faculty and staff and the public.
