Rep. Budzinski Tours LLCC Diesel Technology Lab
LLCC hosted Rep. Nikki Budzinski and representatives of Skills USA and the AED Workforce Development Foundation on Wednesday in the Diesel Technologies Lab. Skills USA and AED thanked the congresswoman for helping secure a Department of Labor grant to support and develop high school programs that promote skilled trades. While at LLCC, Rep. Budzinski was given a tour of the Diesel Technologies lab from Program Director Jeff Gardner.
Temporary Hall Closures coming
Between now and the beginning of the fall Semester, contractors will continue to work outside of the student services construction barrier in Menard Hall. This portion of the hallway will be closed occasionally during this time. We will have the corridor reopened by end of day on Aug. 16.
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. 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.
New Signage Going Up
Contractors are currently working on installing new signage and wayfinding at Menard Hall, Sangamon Hall and A Lincoln Commons. We worked diligently with the vendor to be sure everything was as accurate as possible, but with approximately 1,300 new signs to install, there will likely need to be small adjustments. If you notice any revisions, please email these to Tim Ervin at tim.ervin@llcc.edu and we will track all of these to make the needed revisions at one time. Thanks!
