Fire alarm testing to begin Aug. 1

LLCC Facilities Services will be performing annual testing of fire alarm systems in the majority of main campus and Outreach Center buildings beginning Monday, Aug. 1. During testing it will be necessary to periodically activate the system horns and strobes, but we will strive to keep disruptions to a minimum.

Your patience is appreciated as we perform these vital services. As always, please contact Facilities Services at 217-786-2304 with any questions or concerns.
